I bet you have no idea what Emacs is for, what it is capable of; you probably think it's "a text editor", yet in experienced hands it simply destroys all the other alternatives, easily. TextMate, Eclipse, Komodo, Aptana, Zend Studio, Dreamweaver, Brackets, Atom, Sublime Text - each of them at some point in time was more popular than Emacs, most of them slowly disappeared, Emacs is still here, stronger than ever. That is a success story.
I guess you have techno-myopia, and just can't see past your own bubble - some ideas are simply timeless: Lambda Calculus, Relational algebra and SQL, Vim modality, Regular expressions and finite automata, Homoiconicity, Unix Pipes, Curry-Howard, Immutability, Garbage Collection, etc.
None of that will ever be affected by the industry trends and will always be relevant. Nobody can kill Lisp because it's not a concrete implementation, it's an abstract idea. Clojure won't ever die, it will simply transform into another kind of Lisp. Just like it emerged as a Lisp, built on top of other ideas. Newton's laws no need to be "successful", they seek no recognition, it's not a popularity contest. They are still relevant, even after Einstein's discoveries.
What's your goal here? To prove something to me? Buddy, I'm far beyond redemption - I've seen way too much crap, and I learned how to collect good ideas and put them to good use. I suggest trying something like that. Some ideas are worth attention.
I don't know what the heck makes you so angry; I suppose it's your own inability to look into a given idea and, with candid curiosity, attempt to see what it is about. Your views are one-sided. You should at least acknowledge that I have seen both sides of that coin and maybe, just maybe, there's some truth in my tale, despite of me being biased (everyone, almost always is).
