To me, Emacs is worth it /because/ of Emacspeak. Hearing syntax highlighting, or font-lock, is just, like, I think if I were sighted I would be a visual learner, so hearing more than just a dull, gray voice all the time really helps me focus, concentrate, and understand information better. That may not make much sense but we all have our different priorities. The fact that Emacs can be a book reader, email client, organizer, calculator, calendar, and everything else, just adds onto the sweetness of Emacspeak.
