I'm hardly typical and not at all the target market for anyone on the
page you cited.  I am retired (and have the luxury of time) and I've
been programming in Lisp, off and on, for 40 years (and thus have the
required skills) so, no, I would not pay $600 for an hour of someone
else's programming time.

I'm still puzzled by your post.  The rates or the wording or something
obviously bugs you but I can't see what.  The fact the neither you nor I
would pay for Emacs programming is surely not it.
