As does time, but there is very little that anyone can do to convince me
that emacs (it's just a text editor when boiled down, and one I use a
little) is/was the most important thing going.
 
Could it have been simply that emacs is your little baby?  Nothing wrong
with that, and wanting to protect and nurture emacs is fine, so long as
it can be said that had you decided to push on with the desktop way back
then (when?) we could/would have been further ahead, maybe?
