My brother used to hate emacs when he started CompSci - he thought it
was horrendous. Then he got used to it - and realised why it's so good.
And Emacs is written (and programmed) in Lisp.
I bang on about Word and WordPerfect in the same vein. Word was dumbed
down to appeal to the "man in the street" who couldn't type. I *hate* it
- it's a mess. WordPerfect was written for the man who knew how to type
- it's intuitive, it's simple, it works like a dream. But give it to the
boss, rather than the secretary, and they just can't get it to work.
Lisp/scheme/Emacs are the same - they're wonderful tools in the hands of
the PROFESSIONAL that knows how to use them.
