Kevin,
thank you for the hint on Crisp emulation - I tried it before, and it did not
work quite as expected - I just tried it again, and it still doesn't - say
the numeric keypad asterisk which is an 'undo' key in Crisp doesn't work this
way. Window navigation (Shift->arrow key) doesn't work either, but I am sure
it all is fixable. A bigger issue is that a big macro library can not be
reused between Crisp and Emacs (not that I think this is even feasible to
expect between any two editors).

Yeah, well, I was half kidding. My daughter graduated from UCB CS program
recently - I watched her learn and use schema - she sure would be quite
comfortable with Emacs macro extensions.
But believe me, not all (and I would bet not even a majority) of Emacs users
came through a CS program teaching schema - for all of us it is so weird to
adjust to Lisp after some most popular in the industry programming languages
(be it C/C++ or Java or Perl/PHP - whatever people use to earn living these
days) so many don't even try.
I understand it's too late to expect Emacs to switch to another scripting
language, but I sure think the need to use lisp is a deficiency.
cheers,
