Just to clarify, Emacs came from ITS, predating GNU by IIRC almost a decade and even the actual construction of any Lisp machines. GNU Emacs was at least the fifth Emacs, following the original PDP-10 Emacs, Multics Emacs, Zmacs, and Gosmacs.

I hope the downvote isn't because of your answer, because I already mentioned that. I even emulated ITS under Simh, and I tried both Emacs and MacLisp.

I hope not too; your comment was very good, just a little confusing.

Who got downvoted? Both of your comments were accurate. The music comparison stuff is subjective, but that's not worth a downvote.

(I don't know how to see downvotes in Hacki, hence why I ask.)

Possibly at some point anthk's comment was downvoted?
