I consider keyboard macros poor man's
programming as everything you can do with
keyboard macros, you can do with programming,
but not the other way around.

I've seen people use them to align like three
or four liens or something. One should work on
ones typing and cursor moving speed instead of
doing a macro for that, IMO. And if there are
too many lines, Elisp is better than a macro
IMO as the Elisp is a helpful building block
to have. Maybe the same situation arrives
again, only with some detail changed? If you
keep your Elisp, you can solve that as well
with a minimal change to a duplicate function.

I certainly think so :)

I don't know what editors the other guys are
talking about, the so called competition.
But there are many multi-OS editors.
Multi-language, I don't know. I can only think
of Vim and .NET/Mono which I think are
C#/VB(A)/MS SQL Server and possibly some more.

Bulk coding:

    The process of Coding all members of
    a group of Documents (identified, for
    example, by Deduplication,
    Near-Deduplication, Email Threading, or
    Clustering) based on the review of only one
    or a few members of the group.
    Also referred to as Bulk Tagging. [1]
