Put me down as someone who loves it.

I use it for serious writing when I want to be able to manipulate text without having to take my fingers off the keyboard. It takes just a little getting used to but it is the only industrial strength editor in the business. My previous employer has a product with many millions of lines of source code and I can't imagine navigating that without emacs.

These days I mostly use it to write a monthly colunm. I find it much more powerful than TextEdit and then the editor prettifies everything.
