Having only the level of capability that has been put into Emacs is considered a disadvantage in most applications. The disadvantage is typically (in my experience) considered medium-to-light in general applications, and medium-to-serious in fundamental applications like general-purpose editors and/or user environments. *Chad --Apple-Mail-2-9067728 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Having only the level of capability that has been put into Emacs is considered a disadvantage in most applications.  The disadvantage is typically (in my experience) considered medium-to-light in general applications, and medium-to-serious in fundamental applications like gener al-purpose editors and/or user environments.
