Yes, it can. Actually, there are two packages that do similar job
(session.el and desktop.el).  They can record a lot of info. such as how
many files were opened, where the cursors (points) were, registers,
dimensions of windows/frames, etc.

Other useful features of emacs:
- It can be used as a "folding" editor (hideshow.el, hide-sexp.el,
  folding.el).  With a few key strokes, it hides the detail of functions,
  blocks, comment, etc. at a given level so you can have a general view of
  your code/document.

- Edit/search/replace in a restricted region, for example you want to
  replace a variable only within a function, you can "narrow down" this
  function and then replace all occurrences.

BTW, there is a high quality PDF and PS version of the latest Vim Reference
Guide at http://iris.ltas.ulg.ac.be/~quy/vim, someone may find it useful.
