Yes. In that sense, Emacs resembles the Unix/Linux shells, where
you can customize, and extend, in the .rc and .profile files. I
think this should be the rule, rather than the exception, to just
about any piece of software. But it is not - so it is good to have
Emacs and zsh!

The practical side to it, at least. The most important side.

Yes, and that was the Kon-Tiki point I made a couple of messages
back. But on a Unix/Linux system, it doesn't really matter from
where you run Emacs. X is a windows system, from where you can run
Emacs either in its GUI incarnation (using a WM on top of X), or
in an X terminal (like xterm or urxvt, with 'emacs -nw'), *or* you
could have Emacs in a Linux VT (the tty's). That Emacs is an OS
within the OS is a great point!
