Well, stating the obvious here, but my tongue in cheek remark was meant to highlight the fact that Emacs is wonderful if you happened to have spent the 70s in an AI lab, but if you are illisperate, the usefulness goes down significantly.
This was not a suggestion that you actually go out and learn lisp so you can make your text editor work.
(Although, as an emacs user, if you invest in learning some basics of the language it pays off big dividends, fast)
