If you think of emacs as a text editor which happens to have a LISP interpreter, then this is silly. But if you think of it as a LISP interpreter which happens to have a text editor, then it makes a lot more sense.

Like they say, "Emacs is a great operating system, lacking only a decent editor".

Thanks to evil-mode it now has a decent editor too.
