The language used to manipulate the data model is almost irrelevant. It's probable that the initiates within the priesthood know it all, but the hoi-polloi certainly don't; and we probably don't have the time to find and read all the docs just to use an editor with a simple customization. It's exclusionary and there's an immense barrier to entry, whether it's elisp or bananas-lang.
It's just one damned anachronism after another.
