I would be most interested to hear answers to this e-mail.
I too have wondered about the differences between tuareg mode and caml mode.
I noticed that key bindings are different and formatting is handled a little
differently. I have never seen a good comparison between the two though. Or why
tuareg-mode exists at all (instead of improving caml mode).
Another thing is that in the tuareg mode documentation, there is no mention
that you need to install files from caml mode. It seems like C-c C-t (type
throwback) only works after installing caml-types.el from caml mode. What other
files from caml mode need to be installed?
I'm glad to see ocamlspot.el is included now.
Thanks
Tom

I have long used the emacs tuareg mode (simply because when I asked
advice someone told me that it was better than the standard caml
mode), and have recently wondered if that choice was motivated by
rational reasons. When I looked at it, I discovered that the original
caml mode has overall the same set of features (with some of them
coming earlier due to it being maintained by the OCaml team), was
reasonably well documented and was split in multiple source files
instead of one monolithic .el for tuareg-mode. I switched to the
standard caml-mode. The indentation, coloring and shorctuts are a bit
different, but otherwise I don't see what motivated the better tuareg
reputation.
Are you planning to add new features that would make tuareg decisively
better ? Have I missed some existing killer feature ? Why did you
choose to maintain the tuareg mode instead of collaborating with the
caml-mode upstream ?
