As is the case with vi(m), emacs revolves around the concept that removing your hands from the home row on the keyboard is bad for productivity (touch-typists can do things much faster with a keyboard than with a mouse) and also hampers your ability to edit code remotely in several situations (like debugging code on a headless web server or recovering your screwed X session).
