This is a huge problem with GNU. Lisp is an extremely elitist language, and extremely divisive. It's not taught that well in GNU documentation either, in my opinion. The least elitist language today is probably JavaScript. We already had Atom, and then things like VS Code, that make heavy use of JavaScript. But does using JavaScript as the scripting language imply that the editor must be Electron-based? Surely you can have a thinner JavaScript-based app for desktop? And who cares whether it runs in a browser.
