Yeah, I was confused by that too. He could have meant 'low-end' to mean 'low-level', but in the previous sentence he defined 'low-level developer' to mean "people who are not experts at writing code". (So, why are they writing code?) I guess that would mean people who are more comfortable using a point-and-clicky ide that generates code for them. The standard criticism of Emacs is that is great for developers who *know* how to write low-level code, but doesn't have enough point-and-clicky for newbies.
I read somewhere that Arthur van Huff uses Emacs. (Is he one of those 'low-level', Emacs using developers who is not an expert at writing code?) I wonder if he uses JDE, or if any of the other Sun guys use JDE.

Unless I interpret JG's answer incorrectly(?), I think the opposite: Emacs is not for the low end developer. Thomas L Roche writes: > http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2102856,00.html
