Your hunch isn't completely wrong. From Emac's wikipedia page:
The original EMACS was written in 1976 by David A. Moon and
Guy L. Steele, Jr. as a set of Editor MACroS for the TECO
editor. It was inspired by the ideas of the TECO-macro editors
TECMAC and TMACS.
The most popular, and most ported, version of Emacs is GNU Emacs,
which was created by Richard Stallman for the GNU Project.
XEmacs is a variant that branched from GNU Emacs in 1991. Both
GNU Emacs and XEmacs use Emacs Lisp and are for the most part
compatible with each other.
Of course, when I say affectionately "Emacs" here, I'm thinking of
GNU Emacs. And it has evolved... a bit since then.
(And, BTW. you could do much worse than having Stefan around here ;-)
Try it. You'll be overwhelmed. But you'll like it, promised.
