Well, emacs is the most popular Lisp implementation and area of application.

  I was thinking along these lines. Although, the thing that occurred to me is that Lisp is sometimes called a programmable programming language. And emacs is the canonical programmable text editor. It had occurred to me that it was not a coincidence that someone who had embraced a fully programmable tool (language or editor) would feel this way about it. I thought the article was interesting in that the author was pointing out that emacs' programmability could be used to emulate design features like a distraction-free environment and not just "power" features.
