My own customisations total 15,343 (that's 15 thousand) lines. I have split my .emacs file into 85 files to simplify things. My code includes all of my font preferences, an automated backup system, a C++ class browser and many more features. I was wondering how many lines of Lisp code other people out there use. How many lines do people like Eli Zaretskii, Richard Stallman or Donald Knuth use... I realise that a posting to this forum will only be read by hard-core Emacs types, but it would be interesting to find out nonetheless!
