You are aware of Meta-x-shell, which allows you to do any
command-line task within a bash buffer inside emacs? Also,
Meta-x-compile-<compile command>, which invokes the given
compile command and provides you with a compilation-output
buffer, from which Ctrl-x-` takes you to the source file and
line of the error the cursor is on in the compilation output?
(I just think it's important for people to know these things :-)

Yeah, people who diss Microsoft for the flight sim hidden in
Excel and then go home and fire up emacs are hypocrites...
