Can Gedit talk to external processes, both ways? Does it have
something like Eshell? Unlike Bash,  Eshell will be with you wherever
Emacs is.

Check `wdired-change-to-wdired-mode'.

Check http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/grep-edit.el

Check the --script option, which allows you to use Emacs Lisp for
batch text processing.

Check `C-h' and show him how explorable Emacs is.

However, if that guy just needs an editor, just tell him to stick with
Gedit.
