Indeed, better to write an essay style article!
You have used Emacs and TeX more than enough
for this. Just write what you find interesting,
it doesn't have to give a full/representative
insight. Those articles are often boring to
read as well.
For several years I wanted to put together an
essay style anthology called "The Emacs World".
This would be in style like this UNIX book [1],
so it would be a "cultural history" for
hackers, but not a manual or a book with the
purpose of enhancing anyone's skills, just
knowledge, "facts for fans" if you will.
One chapter would be Emacs-w3m, one Gnus, one
Elisp, and tho I never thought of it until now,
why not one TeX?
