I have perused the Youtube vids, and am going through the FSF manuals.
The only thing is these manuals really don't give a clue on how to set
up some apps that are installed. I think I found the area where the
native apps come in on a base install of Emacs. I actually use it on
KDE4. That's another whole topic in itself. But would like to migrate it
to Sawfish since is it Lisp based. It's also seeming that I am able to
kinda wrap my head around Lisp. Time will tell.

After gathering all these materials. I'm trying to see if it will really
be worth it in the long run. I've come from use VIM for so long, but
mainly in its text editing.

It's sounding like Emacs is actually highly stable in console and in
GUI. I'm wondering on the GUI aspect can Emacs be backgrounded like
Screen or Tmux and then reattached if something needs to be done
remotely. I know that you can run a pletheora of console buffers inside
of Emacs and do ssh/scp and the like. Which is cool. I think I've found
a mail setup file, which is a lot of what I'm missing so I can get this
going. Emacs keybindings are a lot like screen and irssi so no biggie
there.

Over all my main goal is stability. The learning curve is not an issue.
If I learn Lisp all the better so when I get to the Sawfish WM it's easy
to configure. I'm looking for consistency. I hate to have to change an
app because it EOL's.. OR like KDE3.5.9 got shelved and KDE4 was a lemon
up til this most recent version for me. Or an app is still active but
crashes on one DE/WM but is stable on another. Emacs and everything that
runs inside it seem to be it's own animal for sake of a different wordl
It is highly transportable.

Update I found a copy of 3rd Ed. GNU Emacs How To..
