@ari@tech.lgbt emacs isn't as good an editor as it is an integrator of tools - it can be described as an integrating user env.
If you anyway use even one interactive tool like shell, gdb, Python/Ruby/Elixir/Erlang/Prolog, git, etc. #Emacs makes it possible to use them more effectively and that is the main value it has. For starters, see http://web.psung.name/emacstips/essential.html
Definitely the GUI version.

It also has value outside of dev.work, like editing rich text, LaTEX ... 'org-mode' as an organizer of information, its older alternative 'hyperbole' ... 'gnus' or 'notmuch' are praised for e-mail handling
