I find it interesting that Emacs users are supposed to be so smart yet their editor has, proportionally, been updated the least of all the editors since the dawn of computers.
This could be explained by one of following
* Those that use it are brainwashed already to think it's perfect how it is
* The users have better things to do than update their crappy editor
* None of them really knows how it works to update it
* No one actually uses it
