3/3 and needing to read more
I wonder if GNU can be understood to have survived primarily as a vehicle for running emacs. GIMP is kind of the odd counterexample, though in hindsight, GIMP in 1997 was a libre copy of the then-more-central proprietary CLIM implementations but GIMP used tinyscheme instead of clim-lisp/common-lisp as its command language (button programming language, whatever gimp calls it) as its point of difference.
