10. Midshipman X is so impressed with how easy-to-use Emacs is that he implements from scratch his own program, Midmacs, that does all the same stuff --- text editing, cryptic key shortcuts, window splitting, buffers, the little command-line at the bottom where you enter commands after pressing escape-x ... only the superficial stuff like the font and the iconography is different. He freely admits in the "About Midmacs" menu notes that it's a knock-off of Emacs in terms of functionality and interface.
