A deeply strange set of choices indeed, including wasting the last few paragraphs talking about Mac OS.

The post 1970s/1980s history of Emacs is one of the more colorful stories in the software development world. The Emacs/XEmacs schism is the most famous episode, but there's also the "waiting for Godot" drama surrounding the Emacs 21->22 release, etc.
