The emacs users I know are among the most imaginative and competent people I know. Like many who read this list, they *use* the things that distinguish emacs from other editors: extensibility, macros, network access, subshells, process control, and the many available environments (by which I mean to include mail, Usenet, IDEs, etc.). I'm deeply appreciative of the people who continue to work on emacs. I couldn't live without it, and if development ever comes to a halt, I'll probably just keep using the last version forever. djc
