Careful, I believe that "perverted mind" was Richard Stallman's. And emacs is more than LISP application, it's a LISP interpreter, and that's what makes it so extensible (i.e. able to now display images, browse the web, act as a mail client, remember files you've opened recently and find them for you again, act as an instant messenger client (text only for those of you who insist), browse man pages, tie your shoes, etc.).
