For this old timer, emacs achieved nirvana with version 19.34 (hilit19 anyone?), when RMS and his merry men retook the crown from the Lucid pretenders. The 19 series were like the last of the air-cooled Porsche 911's contemporaneously in vogue. Things stabilized with versions 20 and 21, then languished until some pretty lousy but well meaning programmers revitalized development in 2008.
