Emacs is not a modern IDE?

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5765

Java developers might try Java Development Environment for Emacs
(JDEE). http://jdee.sunsite.dk/

Serious question, not flame bait: what is lacking from Emacs that a
"modern" IDE would have? I'm mildly intrigued by Eclipse, but wonder
what it has that would be worth trading in my expertise in Emacs to
get.
