Are you saying that Emacs is only for editing?  Coming from one of the
Emacs developers, that sounds almost like heresy ;-)

What about reading mail, showing me the time, the calendar, and how
many hours are left for me to work on my current project?  What about
launching programs from a Dired buffer and comparing files with Ediff?
What about doing cleanups late at night when I'm asleep?  What about
the plethora of other things Emacs does that aren't editing?
