I am generally curious about the continued success of Unipress' and
CCA's emacses in the face of GNU Emacs' close-to-universal availability
combined with the fact that it runs on most common machines out there
today, even such beasts as the 3Bs, diffs for which were posted here
just a couple of days ago.  Especially in light of having made it (so
I understand) into the 4.3BSD release tapes, I wonder:

Is anyone still shelling out real $$$ to buy either Unipress' or CCA's
emacs programs?  If so, why?  Offhand, I can think of only 2 reasons
why I would do so myself: [1] If I were using a machine with a small
address space incapable of coping with the huge amount of storage
required by GNU Emacs, then I'd want someone else's.  [2] If I wanted
a blindingly fast emacs, then I'd drop GNU Emacs, but I'd pick up
microEmacs or somesuch thing, not getting Unipress or CCA even then.

Any devoted Unipress or CCA users out there?  Or even Montgomery's?
Care to comment?
