Bullshit. Emacs does not require the use of a mouse any more than vi does, unless you're too lazy (or stupid) to learn to use it properly. Hint: (menu-bar-mode -1). OTOH, I wouldn't be sorry to see someone write an alternative to GNU Emacs (no, don't say "XEmacs") since, as I see it, GNU Emacs is currently in a handbasket well on it's way to hell.
