FTR: I agree with you. However, sadly this seems to be a minority
opinion in the current Emacs development: features are added to Emacs
Lisp left, right and center without any serious consideration of the
of the costs and benefits balance. The pressure to add features to
Emacs Lisp is enormous. It sometimes seems to me that some people
regard developing and extending Emacs Lisp to be the most important
aspects of the Emacs development.
