   An IDE integrates its own build system, debugger, version control etc.   
   Emacs does none of those things. It is an editor. It can work with   
   whatever build system, debugger, version control etc that you want to use.   
      
   Note also it is not (just) a *text* editor, it is an editor. It is quite   
   capable of editing non-text files.
