I edit XML files quite a lot, and features like navigating up and down in the tree, killing the contents of some XML element or auto tag closing are great. - I could not live with other some minor modes: autopair.el, guess- style.el, browse-kill-ring.el, globalff.el - Using define-generic-mode, I've defined a major mode for my app logs, which highlights errors and warnings in different colors and makes them easier to see. - hippie-expand, rgrep, psvn-mode, global-linum-mode. These are more common. - Some macros that call some command line Linux tools to process the content of a buffer have saved me a lot of time.
