Not to answer for RMS', but to add a bit of historical context.
Emacs, Lisp, and the Lisp Machine all came from the MIT AI lab. The
predecessor to the lispm was Maclisp running on ITS, which also hosted
the TECO editor used to build the first Emacs. Many AI researchers and
ITS hackers used Maclisp, and many prominent Lisp features first saw the
light of day here.
