Note: the 'Lisp hacker' part has already made his editor propensities
clear (ever tried writing Lisp in vi? Ew.)

Hey, he's not the only one (OK, so, XEmacs. No major difference.)

btw, 'user' is not the right word, unless you mean like drugs. You don't use
Emacs: you live it. :)

(I'm slightly scared to realise that I've now used some flavour of Emacs
for more than half its lifetime, and coincidentally more than half of
mine as well. I'm certain that I've spent *much* more time looking at an
XEmacs window than looking at a shell prompt, but that's in large part
because my shell prompts at work live in XEmacs.)
