Yes, many that people like myself use daily, so I hope no one gets me
wrong here, I like GNU stuff, I have been aware of GNU and the free
software since the late late 80's and appreciate all that has been
done...

This is exactly what I am concerned about, you aborted the first attempt
because of a text editor.

I feel that your todo list is in the wrong order, surely you could have
carried on with out an emacs maintainer for a few weeks (whilst looking
for a new one), and left the other developer working on teh desktop?
