(Although this has NOTHING to do with Macs...)

The reason TPU compares (arguably) well to EMACS might just be the fact
that the same people who brought us TPU also worked on DEC's internal
version on EMACS.  (Only now are most of DEC's engineers slowly giving
up EMACS in favor to TPU [Eve and especially LSE]).
