On a modern computer, do you actually notice the difference in startup time between Notepad++ and Emacs or GPS?

Emacs can be project-less or project-full.

Since the editors are multi-document, "startup" should really mean "open another file in the current editor instance"; why would you ever exit the editor?

That's "GUI", not "script". "script" (to me, anyway), means "a simple interpreted language".

What sort of results are you talking about? Compilation errors? reformatting? program output?

Emacs and GPS do all of those.
