Personally, I think that if it's good enough for people using it now,
we should leave it, but that further effort should be directed
elsewhere (except for fixing reported bugs as time and expertise
allow).
Leave it, as in continue with the repository available, or leave it, as in
continue with the merges as I’ve been doing?
I'd like to see a Cocoa port, but apparently (cf emacs-devel
traffic)
that would be as much work to do well as Windows was. The display and
event models of "modern" GUI systems seem designed to prevent Emacs
from being Emacs....
Emacs was developed on a TTY, where the editor redisplay has comparatively
little control over anything. I really don’t understand why the various
non-X11 GUI implementations don’t abdicate more of redisplay in favour of
the OS; Choi’s did, and that was a fine start.
