Two features +that you may like especially are completion, which saves typing, and +dired, which simplifies file handling. + +Completion is a way to avoid unnecessary typing. For instance, if you +want to switch to the *Messages* buffer, you can type C-x b *M<Tab> +and Emacs will fill in the rest of the buffer name as far as it can +determine from what you have already typed. Completion is described +in Info in the Emacs manual in the node called "Completion". + +Dired enables you to list files in a directory (and optionally its +subdirectories), move around that list, visit, rename, delete and +otherwise operate on the files. Dired is described in Info in the +Emacs manual in the node called "Dired". + +The manual also describes many other Emacs features. + + * CONCLUSION ------------
