  Who cares? In modern computers the size of emacs is nothing.

  Faster in what way?
  If I press a key, the correspondent letter appears immediately on the
window. That's fast enough.

  I don't consider speed to be a reason to switch to another editor which
has a lot less features.

  That's the point: It does "many", not "all".
  I personally am not prepared to change editor to a "smaller" and "faster"
one if it means I will be losing features I use.

  Why all programs which have existed for long time are "old dinosaurs"?
  The current version of emacs is pretty different from the first emacs
which existed. I wouldn't call it "old".
