That's just one of the reasons. The main reason I use Emacs is that using its default keybindings is an excellent warm-up/stretching exercise for your fingers. 15 minutes of using Emacs and you are ready to play the guitar.
There are also so other reasons (org-mode, slime, auctex, etc.) but these are not really important.

Yes you are kidding... Can't be serious with that... (Because YOU are omitting doesn't mean WE need to miss it). BTW, despite its "huge footprint" it's quite nothing on our hard drives for a long time now...
Emacs rules...
