> A very interesting trend of pre-packaged Emacs distros happening.
Back before Eclipse, it wasn't uncommon for emacs to be bundled into development environments. Xemacs is a famous example of this (being forked by Lucid for their dev tools). My recall is that SunWorkshop used to use emacs as the IDE frontend back in the 90s. Allegro Common Lisp also used to include it.
I think I came across other examples, but currently Google isn't providing enough help to 20 year old memories.
