There is enough of a difference that I will suffer in silence and fix
the deletion bug in my .emacs. But please, please do not turn on the
terminally brain damaged pending-del by default.
Adding options for people who want emacs to behave like vi or
windoze
or anything else seems fine to me. I'd just prefer that by default it
behave like emacs.
Maybe what we need are styles like CC mode uses. It wouldn't be all
that difficult to implement and if getting sensible behavior required
(setq xemacs-interface-style 'emacs)
in .emacs I could live with that.
This all sounds reasonable to me. Basically, while I think it's wrong
to make something other than Control-d delete forward by default, I'll
certainly be able to deal with the situation. The
xemacs-interface-style as a way to choose a big glob of defaults all
at once could be pretty cool.
