The way I see this, is that it can be considered a derivation of emacs.
Present a common method of interacting with text efficiently, and then base your applications upon that methodology.
As many know, emacs has taken the paradigm of buffers of text and moving about them to Do Things to an amazing level of sophistication. However, many don't necessarily like the way that a user navigates emacs.
Many people spend their entire day working in emacs, and have for years. Perhaps this new interface will be able to make a next generation emacs-esque system (or perhaps someone will just make a THI "mode" for emacs :-))
