Emacs in the Age of Magic

Same. That is why I am over in a corner happily coding away with Common Lisp and McCLIM to write myself an editor that mixes ACME UI with Lisp. Is it ultra-polished? Hell no. But it definitely keeps me sane and I know what I wrote.

Nice, Acme is underrated and needs more experimentation/adaptation as a concept.

Only on the UI part though. I wanted a Genera/CLIM approach, so having that filesystem thing sitting there felt wrong. But I did like the “all UI is text” approach. And with CLIM presentations it can go very far.
