I'm glad to see that other software companies had recognized the power of M-x, which had been in Emacs since before GNU Emacs. Now if only they'd understand the power of immediate, pervasive extensibility in Lisp (Autodesk did!).

If humans gravitated towards choosing logical paths instead of following emotions, they would be equally miserable, with the difference of added awareness - they'd still be miserable yet know why.

Reminds me the quote from Idiocracy - "for the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes"...
