I think pklausler means that, out of the box, emacs is decent but, over time, you slowly mold it into something that is more truly yours.

That's been my nearly twenty year experience with emacs.

I am glad that you have enjoyed your use of emacs, but no, I was being literal. A text editor is not a complicated piece of software to write from scratch.

I guess 7100 lines of C might sound simple to some, but that sounds pretty complicated to me! :)
