Really should include Emacs lisp, as it's a something many in academia happen upon for LaTeX or some other side use.

While Emacs Lisp is confined to the editor, it also shows that the Editor is not that, and much has been said of it as an OS, an Application Platform, and so on.

Since about 1992, I've used it as platform for many things as well as a general purpose text editor I couldn't initially figure out how to quit.

I'm sure many here are more fervent about Emacs, living in the terminal switched to living in Emacs for a lot of folks... that's really a testament to the usability gravity of an integrated computing platform with Lisp as it's only scripting language.

ymmv of course
