It was a bit of one of those train wrecks that's impossible to tear one's eyes away from. It had me thinking "wait, Emacs could be better?" (I've only been using it for a few years). The Emacs is Not Enough post[1] certainly drew more onlookers with its title than this post though many complained about the length and the focus. Admittedly I think I wouldn't have been intrigued if my first interaction with this project was just the root of the site as linked here. The author has certainly done a good job providing multiple avenues to explain this concept.
