But there are real issues with the style of trashing on old tech for being old, which this post is full of. Emacs is being criticized for making what amount to practical technical decisions. This is a relevant point in the current tech climate of rewriting the last framework "because 2013 is so old".
Didn't sound like the author was trashing on emacs for being old, to me. It sounded loving, if anything. I was practically jealous of his intimate relationship with his editor by the end of it.
