I myself am a recent Emacs adaptee(its been 3 days now), since i finaly decided to learn to program in C(comming from a php and python background). >From what i picked up on the several IRC chatrooms i visit, the generally use is under a graphical window system, although this would be hardly representable for the masses, i didnt even know Emacs can work without a GUI, most "Getting started with Emacs" tutorial that are scattered throughout the web only cover the Emacs GUI. Sincerely, Alexander "Cyberwaste" Meesters. PS) thank you for all the beautifull things you have given us.
