Apparently the only feature emacs is missing is spellcheck.

  Flyspell, but good luck getting to run in MS Windows.

    I did back when I used emacs in Windows ME and XP (yeah, long time ago, happy non-Windows user for quite a few years)

    Run Emacs through Cygwin and Flyspell works just fine. I doubt ESR is posting from Windows anyway.

    Works fine with http://aspell.net/win32/ http://aspell.net/win32/ and two lines of elisp.

    Here's my .emacs setup for spell checking in Windows [1]. (setq-default ispell-program-name "c:/Aspell/bin/aspell.exe") For on-the-fly spell checking in various modes. (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda() (flyspell-mode 1)) ) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda() (flyspell-mode 1)) ) [1] http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AspellWindows http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AspellWindows

    Thank you for challenging these other fine gentlemen on this one point. Just today I was just looking into why I wasn't getting automatic flyspell-mode activated on my Git commits. Now it seems I wont even need to research it further :)

    I think that 'jaybuff was being a little sarcastic. There are some howlers in OP.
