EMACS == EMACS Makes All Computers Slow :)
This one is recursive!
In fact, I don't think the whole largeness thing is as much of an issue
today. We're not working with VAXen and the like - computing power is
plentiful. The whole "emacs is too large" excuse is a bit of a cop out in my
opinion. Emacs is still smaller than the closest offering from MS - Word!
And by a large margin, too!
Who said you can't word process in Emacs? For most purposes, HTML is
formatting enough.. <runs for cover!>
Now, if you still don't like emacs, fine, don't use it. That's your choice.
