Surprised the VMS guys just did not already know about emacs as TECO was one of the forbears of emacs I believe.

TECO on VMS was much less capable compared to MIT TECO, and was IIRC optional and rarely installed.

And while original EMACS was written as TECO macros, the experience of using them was completely different. I could use original EMACS, but TECO would leave me completely lost.
