I`m not so sure about that. There are even ppl who have never heard about emacs, and if they`d see it, they might very well think it is.
"Eight Megs and Constantly Swapping" This is a program which has the reputation of having a module for everything. Why are people who have never heard of it relevant?
Because their existence disproves that nobody thinks that emacs is minimalistic.
Even if they don`t, I can still edit them and make adjustments if necessary. If anything fails, I can print the sources as they are. Had I used some WYSIWYG word processing software instead, I wouldn`t even be able to read them anymore because this word processing software doesn`t exist anymore since a long time.
Yes plain LaTeX is fairly readable in source form, but that's not an absolute requirement for being future proof. Educate yourself on ODF. You could even get the plain text out.
ODF didn`t exist twenty years ago.
