  That comic is on the programming/IDE-side of Emacs though, which isn't what I'm talking about here. Quite seriously, Emacs is really excellent for non-program writing too, which is mainly what I use it for.

    The joke is really just that emacs users are so consistently evangelical it becomes amusing and endearing. I love that a piece of software can be so good that it inspires people to do so.

      I see. I hadn't thought of that particular comic (which I have printed out and posted on my office door) from exactly that angle; I always thought of it as pointing out the extensibility of Emacs (and the willingness of people to extend it).
