Why does PEP 8 continually refer to one particular editor (Emacs)?   
(There are even parts in the form "x is better because it works  
better in Emacs", when surely it's actually the case that x is better  
because it's better in the majority of editors.)

ISTM that the PEP would be much simpler if it was completely editor- 
agnostic, but perhaps there's some historical reasoning I'm not aware  
of?
