    For anyone following along, that quote is from the first link. The comparison and conversion can and will depend on many factors, the first and most likely is that the version of emacs he wrote didnt have standard lisp, not that elisp is much more standard. When a non free ($395 in 1980 money) vs free (as in GNU/GPL) version of emacs, its not surprising that GNU emacs was the crowd favourite. I'm not convinced that goslings move to an IDE as the gos emacs creator is a fair datapoint when comparing modern emacs though.

      Yeah, that there is that detail that our community is plagued by people that won't pay for their tools while feeling entitled to get a salary. Imagine if all professions would behave the same way.
