In other words, I want to use Emacs like my window manager. I don't necessarily want to use apps (like mail and IRC) specific to Emacs...rather I want to use *arbitrary* apps in Emacs. I know about term-mode. I don't know if that is the best or only way to do this. Does anyone do this? Is it advisable?
