I never claimed to be an emacs user. I've used Linux exclusively at home since 2001, and I've never "switched" to it or vim, though of course I have a passing familiarity with both from such things as certifications or working on other people's machines.

Of course I'm familiar with the "never leave emacs" meme, moon phase indicators and "what it needs is a good editor" etc. I even gave an example of it being used as a platform in my other comment here (proof general).

But this was about its popularity relative to other editors, not relative to other scriptable framework things.
