I use it daily for Python and C programming, as well as Bash and cmd.exe shell scipting (plus assorted config file types).
I also use it to write literate documentation, including glossary terms, drawings, and code. These get stored in a repo along with HTML exports.
My general experience? It's the best software I've ever used. Hands down, bar none. It has the best documentation and the best documentation system. The community is fantastic. Literal greybeards to guide and inspire you, lots of new people to share excitement with, and plenty of interesting people the world over in-between. And, most important, is Freedom. The software respects me. I'll cherish that, and the lessons it has taught me, forever. I simply would not be who I am today without having learned from Emacs and it's community. Thank you!
I'm usually a singleton at work, although occasionally you meet someone else who uses Emacs.
