Are you suggesting that Emacs become more palatable for companies? How would that benefit Emacs? So you'd have a bunch of fools getting paid to add ghastly features to Emacs that only a pointy haired boss would like? I think the only way something good could come from it is if companies changed to recognize how awesome Emacs is. Your intentions are good: get more people hacking emacs. But the method would destroy everything that makes Emacs great in the first place. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
