Typical features of modern IDEs include: displaying semantic errors (type
errors, etc) as you type, refactoring support, integrated debugging, and
code completion along with display of associated documentation. Many IDEs
also facilitate test case generation and profiling. In the Ada world there
is integration with SPARK (for example as GPS does).
Emacs is powerful and may well be able to do some or all of these things.
Indeed, there is a Scala extension for Emacs that goes a long way in this
direction. I believe it works by interacting directly with the Scala
compiler behind the scenes.
