It was about how good Emacs is, compared to what was there before. The only interesting thing (that I thought, anyway) was when he said Emacs has brought about an enthusiasm for Lisp. I had Common Lisp at university, but I would *never* have done a fraction of all this Elisp, if it weren't for Emacs. So that's spot on. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
