We don’t have the manpower for a Cocoa XEmacs, though; we didn’t have the
manpower for a Carbon XEmacs. I don’t see any prospect of that changing--to
attract more users with a Cocoa port, we need to *have* the Cocoa port. We’d
also need to do the sort of energetic Mac integration that Aquamacs did,
something almost impossible without a fork. (“What do you mean you want to
turn on CUA-mode by default?”)
