It makes reading and replying easier. Now, to attempt to answer your question: everything. Emacs Lisp is used for extending, customizing, and implementing Emacs. Most of Emacs itself is written in Emacs Lisp. Emacs users use Emacs Lisp to customize their Emacs (setting variables and writing functions in their .emacs file, typically) and add new features to it. Software developers use Emacs Lisp to write new packages adding additional features and capabilities to Emacs. =2D Michael =2D-=20 mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type.
