Pretty neat for a piece of software that's been around for 37 years.

I find the Emacs source code pretty nicely structured and easy to understand (the good commenting helps), especially for something so old.

I certainly agree as far as ELisp code is concerned, but I don’t think it’s true when it comes to the C part.
