Your hunch isn't completely wrong. From Emac's wikipedia page:

    The original EMACS was written in 1976 by David A. Moon and
    Guy L. Steele, Jr. as a set of Editor MACroS for the TECO
    editor. It was inspired by the ideas of the TECO-macro editors
    TECMAC and TMACS.

    The most popular, and most ported, version of Emacs is GNU Emacs,
    which was created by Richard Stallman for the GNU Project.
    XEmacs is a variant that branched from GNU Emacs in 1991. Both
    GNU Emacs and XEmacs use Emacs Lisp and are for the most part
    compatible with each other.

Of course, when I say affectionately "Emacs" here, I'm thinking of
GNU Emacs. And it has evolved... a bit since then.

(And, BTW. you could do much worse than having Stefan around here ;-)

Try it. You'll be overwhelmed. But you'll like it, promised.
