> The Emacs data model sucks

It's just one damned anachronism after another.

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.
