Are you saying that Emacs is only for editing? Coming from one of the Emacs developers, that sounds almost like heresy ;-) What about reading mail, showing me the time, the calendar, and how many hours are left for me to work on my current project? What about launching programs from a Dired buffer and comparing files with Ediff? What about doing cleanups late at night when I'm asleep? What about the plethora of other things Emacs does that aren't editing?
