Org-mode is Emacs's "killer library" for me.



Also magit !


Absolutely. git at the command line works fine but I have always found it very dense, and prefer to use it only for very basic or very specific tasks. Magit makes all the usual things I do with git so easy.

I have been using Emacs on Windows for a couple of years, but I have been transitioning to using Linux full-time at work, and by the end of the year I won't have to deal with the slowness of Magit (and git in general) under Windows.


Magit is what got me hooked. I just find it the best way to interface with git other than via the terminal.
