You have forgotten my point that _every_ Emacs user tends to be a
newbie in a large part of its all-encompassing extent.

I can't speak for Eclipse since I have neither tried and seen it.
Nevertheless, I don't doubt that Emacs retains appeal and usefulness
to a lot of people.
For example, I can't remember anybody ever touting using Eclipse as a
development platform for LaTeX, and that is one of the most important
applications of Emacs for me.
