I use Gnus, Planner, Muse, ERC, and Emacs-w3m. I've considered going
further and using jabber.el, EMMS, etc. My concern is not being
overwhelmed by buffers but putting all my eggs in one basket. If
Emacs crashes I lose everything. I know the same is true for X and my
window manager (Ion > *, btw), but I'm not regularly inserting
potentially buggy Elisp into those.
Also, using Emacs for everything means losing some multitasking
ability. Emacs-w3m uses asynchronous processes, but Gnus doesn't, for
example.
