Well, I generally believe competition of this sort is
a good thing.  It appears that Erik has some ambitious plans
(such as using Unicode and migrating Emacs to a Common Lisp base).

My guess is that either the project will be too ambitious and
never get anywhere -- or be the base for the next generation
of Emacs.

His web page (don't have URL handy) has a small discussion of
his plans.

If nothing else, it should be interesting.
