There is a great need for a Lisp editor that would work out of box, without requiring user to write pages of code.
Peopel tend to customize their Emacs to fit their tastes and needs. I do know that in my case the code in my .emacs is quite different, yet there's still a lot of fluff in it, but it's all fluff I added because I wanted some specific feature or I wanted to change how something behaved. Either you get an editor which does stuff mostly fine, but you don't agree with how it does everything, or you have an editor which you can customize however you want, but eventually it does everything you want it to do.
