I don't have high hopes. 1) He's not working in the open, he just says "I will free it, honest." Maybe he'll go through with it, but as of now he's distributing proprietary software. 2) He says that some of the plugins will be nonfree. We know that through Emacs that the plugins are essentially everything. Nonfree plugins means a nonfree editor. I'll be sticking with Emacs. Emacs is still improving. There is a project to replace the existing ELisp VM with GNU Guile, which will improve performance and bring many new features, such as an FFI and threading.
