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.
