I still hope that once emacs 19.0 is available under X, that NeXT
takes the effort to develop us a nice NeXTStep interface to it. Edit
is nice, but it has a LONG way to go to come even close to emacs
functionality. 

Nevertheless Edit is more powerful than most people think. The User
commands are a nice example on how to improve Edit. e.g. you can call
indent and its input is the selected text, its output goes back into
the buffer etc...
