i don't know about Martin's favorite, but i still miss my lisp machine.
the integration was phenominal, the environment was staggeringly
productive. the project i worked on was pushed sideways into a Lucid
Common Lisp environment on Suns and SGIs, and i don't see that the
modern emacs-lisp environments are much advanced over those, and they
were pretty lame by comparison with where things had been.
