I think it's a bad idea. What are the actual benefits, other than
"cool"?
The obvious major drawback is that your environment would become more
fragile. Any emacs problem would mean not having a window manager.
There's also a chicken-and-egg problem: if emacs is the window
manager, then suddenly you have the window manager managing itself.
Not a pretty thought.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing
that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
