@amszmidt @emacsomancer Not totally, and unless you are very careful when you define the words "editor" and especially "lisp machine", all of us who lament the state of modern operating systems will keep getting misunderstood.
Emacs is certainly an 'ersatz' Lisp Machine if you define 'lisp machine' as a thing that runs some kind of Lisp and contains a user interface on top. That completely ignores everything that makes Lisp machines interesting, but we have to acknowledge that people doesn't know this.
