I used a system where I'd chsh'ed to emacs, years ago; worked better
than it had any right to :-)
There's also xed (yes, an X version of ed), if you want something a
little more gui. But really, we'd probably be better off with
something that looks more like some of the gestural stuff that PARC
did 10 years ago... of course, then we'd have Newtons...
emacs-the-ui doesn't translate well to gestures, I suspect - inspite
of the scary mouse features (including strokes!) that it does these
days, most power emacs users (myself included) seem to have memorized
commands more in terms of hand-clenches than actual keys pressed :-)
(now, on a visor with a stowaway keyboard and a springboard wireless
card, *there* I want emacs (along with ssh :-) but by not using CF,
they basically added a year or more to such cards existing... oops,
I'm ranting again, aren't I.
Anyway, LispMe is more scheme-like, and *very* restricted; I think it
would need better integration (more support of raw Palm calls) and
more advanced lisp features to be a viable replacement -- and
remember, gnu emacs has never been all elisp. (Multics emacs *was*
all-lisp.) A perhaps-more-fitting match would be to take one of the
old Forth-based emacs-like editors, and implement it in Quartus...
