Re: Is emacs helpful or necessary to gcc programming?

[Mark Mynsted]

This really does not answer your question, but I would recommend that
one select a text editor, perhaps Emacs, then use it for all
development.

What compiler one uses to compile code is really a lesser concern when
selecting a text editor.  One should select a text editor based on how
well it performs as a text editor not how well it integrates with a
particular compiler.  If the editor is "programmable" then one may
integrate it with any compiler.  

Emacs fairs quite well using the above metric.
