Re: xemacs vs emacs

You are confusing this with Apple mindshare: GNU software, at least GNU Emacs, does not strive to implement features that enhance Emacs only on proprietary platforms. But that does not mean that features customarily associated with the user experience on a given platform have to be ruled out from Emacs: as long as there is a useful equivalent done for GNU, there is no problem in implementing the feature. Also the question of different defaults is best tackled with customization themes (with a different default theme picked on different platforms). That way, somebody who learnt Emacs on Windows has the choice to use it on MacOSX just like he is accustomed to on Windows, and vice versa. The current MacOSX-only behavior of Aquamacs is dividing Emacs users instead of giving them the relief of unification. All of this has nothing to do at all with Apple IP. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
