Hi Raj,

Most people who write Emacs extensions do that in their spare time,
and for fun - and writing for a target audience of users who know the
basics of Lisp is much more fun that writing for users who don't know
Lisp, who don't like Lisp, and who want an editor that is like
VSCode...

  Cheers =(,
