Perhaps Emacs is the reason that Hurd advances so slowly - the GNU project already have an operating system, so Hurd probably seems low priority.

That's an old one.

Perhaps there is a grain of truth in it though? Something as complex as Emacs must be rather a drain on resources that might otherwise have gone on Hurd.

The GNU project isn't a corporation, you know. People work on what they're interested in, not what they're told; so if Emacs didn't exist, people interested in text editing would be working on some other text editor instead. Hurd competes for hacker mindshare with Linux, not Emacs.

Sure, I'm not meaning to criticise the way people spend their own time :) Sorry if it sounded that way.
