Your hunch isn't completely wrong. From Emac's wikipedia page: The original EMACS was written in 1976 by David A. Moon and Guy L. Steele, Jr. as a set of Editor MACroS for the TECO editor. It was inspired by the ideas of the TECO-macro editors TECMAC and TMACS. The most popular, and most ported, version of Emacs is GNU Emacs, which was created by Richard Stallman for the GNU Project. XEmacs is a variant that branched from GNU Emacs in 1991. Both GNU Emacs and XEmacs use Emacs Lisp and are for the most part compatible with each other. Of course, when I say affectionately "Emacs" here, I'm thinking of GNU Emacs. And it has evolved... a bit since then. (And, BTW. you could do much worse than having Stefan around here ;-) Try it. You'll be overwhelmed. But you'll like it, promised.
