Apparently it was Igor Stravinsky. According to google :)

Speaking of great steals:

Take a look at reftex:

Especially check out the screenshots in:

http://zon.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/reftex/reftex-nutshell.html

Some of those screenshots are really really cool.... I think however,
that true to the emacs philosophy, they try to do way too much... All of
this can be implemented without all the fancyness with some grep's...
The single most useful thing ofcourse will be a citation browser

Ofcourse, the ability to sort the bibtex file according to various files
might be a help in inserting citation tags more easily...

In order to "borrow" ideas from the emacs world, I have even installed
emacs on my windows box. Unfortunately, the only command which I have
found a liking for so far has been the <C-x><C-c> command.... I have
tried briefly to activate the viper mode in order to bring myself to
stay a little longer, but I didn't come across the method to do this
easily enough...
