Maybe. I actually started my distribution because it was so damned difficult to get Emacs into a working condition on w32.
I'm sure my usage pattern is very different from yours (I never print from inside Emacs, for example), but I don't have any trouble "getting Emacs into a working condition on w32". There are some rough edges. Which Is Not The Same Thing :)
My thoughts at the beginning was that no one has time to set this up any more. What a pitty, that makes it much harder for those developers/web developers wanting to go from w32 to GNU/Linux later.
There are not many Windows developers for Emacs, so resources are scarce. That does not mean they don't care.
You have a point there of course. I do not wish this. However it would be much easier if my patches were a bit more seriously considered.
I've always tried to take your patches seriously; I'm sure I'm not the only one.
As I have tried to explain many times I hardly ever consider them as final patches. I want comments on them but not dismissing.
If they're not final, and we are in pretest (or we were approaching pretest) its harder to give them the attention they need. It will be easier to reconsider them after 22.1, IMHO.
I always have a problem I want to solve with them (and it is hardly only for myself).
I have not heard many people complaining that they cannot remap Win + R, for example. I looked once to your low-level code, and it seemed complicate for the small benefit it offers (IMHO again, of course).
(I guess everyone agree, but it does not really feel that way always.)
I think yes, many agree. /L/e/k/t/u _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
