I beg to differ. Emacs is an excellent text-based operating environment, simply the best, without peer. I’ve used sam & acme, and they don’t compare.

Some of the hairiest bits of Lisp (e.g. the pathname abstraction) are due to the fact that it doesn’t assume Unix.
Regardless, while I would prefer to boot directly into some sort of 21st-century Lisp OS which takes a lot of great ideas from Plan 9, that doesn’t exist; Plan 9 does. And if I ever get the spare time I intend to port Emacs & SBCL. And hope someone else will port Firefox.
