I have an other taste and an other experience.
Hard to compare, I know.

Ahum.
Emacs is an environment which builds upon the generic concept of text
buffer.
This is a very powerful concept, because it allows for rich tool support,
and for in-depth and relatively light-weight user configuration. By
comparison, windows offer little support and a high threshold for users to
produce useful tools.
Humans painted on cave walls 30000 years ago. Then they invented language.
GUIs have so far proven a temporary re-play of history for people who didn't
record it.
