I'm a Python and C++ programmer using Emacs 24.3! :D I wasn't complete happy with Emacs incapacity to have intellisense for C ++ (and Python have some sort of it through Jedi), so I decide to use CEDET but for me was a painful job to make it work on Emacs, because those elisp functions from CEDET that actually were void-functions, no intellisense after trying to fix those errors, etc. (I cannot make it works actually).
