Indeed. Actually, I prefer Nedit for most programming, but it doesn't have as
many language modes as Emacs (and I enjoy working with a variety of languages).
Emacs excels at editing Lisp-like source code (such as Scheme), since it is
written mostly in Lisp :)

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, that's Scheme syntax :) It means "quote the following data, do not
evaluate it".
