Your comment has a big flaw: it assumes that the grandparent comment is comparing emacs and unix, whereas lisp and unix were compared. If your reading skills are like this, anything is complex for you. And afaik emacs is not a sexual being. And if you think that unix is simple, easy and consistent, your unix fu is probably just adding a fancy prompt to your bashrc. Try ls: how do you sort dirs before files? The first thing you ask is whether it is gnu ls or sth else. Try man, the first question is which format. Make? Same story. I want to get notified for changes in a directory: each unix has its own incompatible thing. And these are the very basics.
