No. RMS' main point was that people should not use Tcl. The sentence
quoted here was only a supporting argument, and I don't think that it
really supports his point unless you accept all of his assumptions,
and unless you look at core Tcl in isolation.

I don't intend to refute that. It is true (although not a truism).
I do question RMS' implicit assertion that the Emacs model of an
extensible application is the only one that can work well.
I also reject the assumption that because some people have
difficulties with a language, it is a bad language.
