My point was that much more can be gained with much less work by working on interface packages than natively reimplementing these features. For example, a polished Eclim package besides providing an excellent Java support would also provide an excellent way for developers working with Eclipse to try Emacs, because they could use the exact same working environment. They could instantly use Emacs with their projects without any extra setup, so it would be very easy for them to give Emacs a try.
