I dispute the necessity or desire to learn and use Lisp.
The language is a mess, numerous non orthogonal functions.
The program text is totally unreadable for anyone but
the Lisp adept.
As to emacs: I want an editor, not an environment. I have that
already. It is really unfair to compare vi and emacs.
Vi is excellent in what it is supposed to do, editing files,
not emulation the shell, rn, interpret C code, perform
window managing. We have all that.
