FYI: "Emacs and XEmacs" on the Emacs Wiki

Vladimir G. Ivanovic writes: Seems mostly true, except for the damned lie about "failed attempt at an aggressive take-over". The funny thing is that Jamie never wanted to be Emacs maintainer, and neither did anybody else at Lucid. What they really wanted was a crash project to produce something usable in their IDE, and then turn it over to GNU to maintain. Ex post it was a sucker bet, but on the other hand, they couldn't lose: even if there was a fork, it was still the cheapest way to produce the world's best editor for their IDE. One comment that's missing is David Kastrup's "XEmacs tries to be a better Emacs; Emacs tries to be the best editor" or something like that. I don't entirely agree with it, but there's something important to be learned from it. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
