I probably would, but irssi is better than erc and slrn is better than
gnus.  I will use them up on my ubuntu netbook, it having no real
developement base, but on my Slack box emacs is my primary editor,
even for slrn.   

I try to learn something new about emacs every day, if only a
key-stroke.  When I have the time, I read emacs lisp tutorial.  It's
excellent and very well written.  While I'm a rank amateur at emacs, I
can't live without it.  It's the first thing I install on any *nix box.
