Why the variation between the various GNU Emacs packages; it seems
these should all be Development/Editors?
Email discussion back on 4/2-3-4. While it can be argued that
functionally similar packages should all be placed in the same
category, doing so can lead to confusion because they are started and
used differently. For useability, GUI and terminal-based apps should
be separated into separate categories to prevent this confusion.
And if you recall, we strongly disagreed on that point. Packages should
not be categorised differently just because they are terminal based or
GUI-based in nature.
They should be categorised based on function, not presentation. To do
so otherwise is a path of madness.
The relevant, historical thread is here (from Apr 2009):
