I know that Emacs advertises itself as an editor, but it does more: besides run other computer processes, Emacs is a tiling window manager, a user interface that works with or without X windows on both TTYs and others, remotely and locally. In such a logo, a pen is misleading. Certainly, the pen will vanish when the size of the logo becomes 16 by 16 pixels, but then why change? -- Robert J.
