A quick google pointed to this article. I know there are others as well; this just happened to be the second Google hit for "richard stallman emacs". It is mostly history, but there is some info here about the relation between Emacs and Lisp features. http://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html And of course there is this, about the importance of dynamic binding to Emacs: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-paper.html#SEC17
