Most definitely yes.  Those of us condemned to live in a Windows world
do not easily have Makefile-style modes of work available to us anyway,
but I am not sure that I would work that way if I could.  The need to
conduct, document and explain analysis to myself and others makes some
sort of approach like this invaluable.  There are inconsistencies and
minor annoyances, but the overall result is that this way of working is
so much better than doing stuff on the fly (and I always regret it if I
do that, thinking I will fix it up later).  
 
The biggest headache for me is that I sometimes inadvertently transfer
my emacs muscle-memory (eg central mouse button clicks) to the windows
environment (where I am writing this) with occasionally weird results!

As a recruit to emacs of only 6 months standing, I know no lisp and
have not been able to make many modifications apart from .emacs files
and the like that I have found on the web, and occasionally guessing
what will work by analogy. Therefore I welcome your offer Patrick. 
Personally I would like to be able to use AMS LateX more easily (meaning
that the environments special to that should be available in the
menus).
