I love emacs and it pains me to agree with this, at least in part. It has reached an odd place, there is enough legacy code (or so it's believed) that it can't be abandoned, there are clear innovations that will never go in to elisp (jit compilation, threads, Ffi, etc) and guile isn't being accepted while it is clearly the best way forward that has been suggested. It's like emacs is done. Considering something else only makes sense...
