It's exactly what the title says. Using Emacs in an IDE world, or else alongside IDEs. (Although I expected to mean using Emacs as an IDE.)

The article could be better written but I didn't find it incoherent. The point made is that even if you don't use Emacs as the application you use to write code, it's still a useful tool for a software developer.

Isn't this what blogs were supposed to be? Diary-like entries?
