As quite a few people said before, Org mode is the killer feature of
emacs nowadays.
Tramp is another thing that should be mentioned. Now you can even do
remote sudo with it. That makes Emacs perfect for certain Unix system
administration tasks.
With programming it's not as clear-cut. Some things are amazing, like
vc, with it's support of so many back-ends and ability to work over
tramp. Debugging on the other hand is usually way more painful, than it
should be.
> Is Emacs adapting well to the changing computing landscape?
Yes and no. Emacs IMO has quite some troubles with adapting to certain
current technologies. On the other hand it's way in the future. While in
mainstream computing, users just use some prebuild and almost
unchangeable product, in Emacs-land user is this divine being that has
total control over it's environment. That's how computers should work.
So Emacs is the first thing that adapted.
