As far as I can tell, Gnus, in its infancy, used to be horrible. Other newsreaders blew it away. Now, it does things other newsreaders can't dream of doing. Emacs had the issue that it is written in an Elisp Virtual Machine, while its Java IDE development needed to talk to a Java Virtual Machine. I believe most popular java editors are written in java so they didn't have this issue. But, now, the JDEE is close to on-par with the best IDE's for java while giving the java development experience the Emacs flavor, which we can all appreciate. So, in the same view as Gnus, I can't imagine how powerful the JDE will be a year from now for coding java. -- Galen Boyer
