I agree with you, Emacs is great and I am only just starting to realize how cool it is to have a Lisp environment underneath all the text editing facilities.
But if this writer picked up Land of Lisp, they might not be that quick to drop Common Lisp and jump to Emacs Lisp.
That being said, I think they should just start reading and hacking and not worry about which editor to use. That's going to be the least difficult part of learning Lisp, but people seem to make it out to be much more than that.
