Two points.
I came at emacs looking for a gui free environment for non visual users.
Emacs fits the bill well for that.
I have a copy of xmetal, but seldom use it.
My reasons?
Only epic and emacs allow what I call 'bulk' markup.
I.e. take a block of stuff and gradually make it
conformant to a DTD.
I can't afford epic, though it did meet all my needs.
As for macro's, after using emacs since '97, I finally
pulled the book down and figured it about 3 weeks ago.
I now have two, one for a docbook tag, one for
base para's.
