Text Editors like Emacs allow anyone to be a web author because they are available to all.
1.) Accessibility - Emacs is a standard feature of any shell account. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it's affordable to people on minimum wage.
2.) Platform independence - through a telnet window, Emacs offers you control of your site from any platform, any location (assuming it's on a telnet accessible server).
Emacs is versatile, accessible, location independent (through telnet), and runs on all major platforms (including MacOS).
