Besides ready to use packages, main advantage of Emacs - its extensibility - I'm writing a lot of custom code in ELisp that helps me analyze files with results, interactively work with data in multiple databases (using some Clojure code executing via CIDER), etc.

That, and it's really good as an editor.
A lot of commercial IDEs are very well integrated with language and toolset, but often they're really not very good text editors (Visual Studio, I'm looking at you)
Talking about VS, I haven't done a lot of research but has anyone had some luck using emacs on windows for C#?
I don't program C#, but there is OmniSharp for Emacs: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs & you can look to csharp-mode page on emacswiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CSharpMode (and this post: https://bbbscarter.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/c-autocompletion...)
P.S. There were C# parser for CEDET (in contrib), but it wasn't updated for a long time
