I’m an Emacs fan myself, but it wasn’t all that long ago (okay, 25 years ago) when I was chided for using Emacs on our shared Sun workstation as it was considered a massive use of resources for a mere text editor – “Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping” was the old jokey meaning of the name because even with eight megabytes (a decent amount of RAM at the time) Emacs would use it all.
Looking at his more complicated scripts, it looks like he’s reinvented Bravo, the Alto computer text editor – which was the first WYSIWYG editor.
