There was a lot of discussion amongst RPG, JWZ, and RMS around the
time of the schism and there were serious technical disagreements --
like RMS' opposition to abstract data typing (!) of keymaps, menus,
etc. -- but many people have tried very hard to work with RMS and in
some cases have just found the task too daunting. I can try to (once
again) dig up my archive of the discussion if RMS continues to make
these ridiculous claims -- if someone else has it more readily at hand
than I do, could you send me a pointer and save me a trip through my
offline archives?
