emacs is a GUI editor nowadays. The Linux GTK version based on emacs 23 is great. You can do everything with the mouse and menus, even if usually using the command keys is faster because you don't have to move the hands away from where they are most of the time (the keyboard) but you probably know that. An example: http://www.skybert.nu/cgi-bin/viewpage.py.cgi?computers+emacs+java_programming_tutorial I've been using both netbeans 6.5 and emacs in the last year. I'm mandated to use netbeans for a customer's Java project and I use emacs for everything else. I think that emacs just beats netbeans feature by feature. However I concede two things: 1) It still feels like a console application with a GUI layer added to it. 2) It requires a good deal of customization to get it up to par with modern IDEs from the out-of-the-box version (adding modes, installing the right .el files, writing some elisp, etc). That's why I use it only on my machine. I use vi over ssh connections to servers and whatever I find on other desktops, from notepad to kate or Textmate.
