Actually, I was a Windows convert and the first text editor I used under Linux 
was indeed Emacs! Don't ask me why...I think that I had heard about it, so 
when I first typed "edit" in a console and got "command not found", I thought 
to myself "what text editor do they use in Unix - oh yeah, Emacs!"...

Now, I mostly use Kedit, Kate or Vim (if I'm in a console mood), but I did use 
emacs for a while. I've recently cleaned up my installation (my /usr was at 
90% capacity) and even though I removed quite a few packages - including 
xemacs - I still kept emacs. I'm not sure why, but I do think we should 
definitely keep it, if only for karmic reasons! :-)

Furthermore, Unix converts will complain if we don't have it - and these days, 
they are more numerous than Windows converts (unfortunately).
