#3Decently surprising list, at least for me. I think the Torvalds-Stallman relationship got more complicated in my head.

To be fair, Linus uses uemacs. He says "real" emacs is the tool of the devil ;-)

#8> Richard Stallman – the creator of GNU Emacs, the founder of GNU
Did anybody think he was secretly using vi in the closet?

#9How are RMS & JWZ not famous for using emacs? I was expecting more people outside of the usual computer science & industry suspects.

#10I find it strange that Daniel Weinreb, Guy Steele and Richard Stallman are on this list. Steele co-wrote ?macs with David Moon and John Kulp. Dan Weinreb was a beta tester on ?macs before Stallman joined the project, and he would later become the first one to write an Emacs in a lisp (EINE). Stallman, of course, created GNU Emacs. Putting them on a list with Assange and Zuckerberg is ridiculous.
