As much as I appreciate my Emacs environment, I think GEdit + basic REPL
in a terminal is the right choice for presenting Guile.  I think it
would be better not explaining how to setup Geiser+Emacs in this
tutorial and just mentioning it by giving a link to separate resource
(which don't exist yet...) for those who are already familiar with
Emacs.

This is definitely a great initiative!
