Lisp is perhaps the greatest system ever.  Plus, if something is written
in lisp (like emacs was originally), then it is easy to add lisp scripting
to that something (like lisp).

And slow is all in what you compare it to.  It is much faster than say,
Visual Studio.  Much slower than vi.  But some people like the extra
features.
