And leaves the XEmacs Dev Team holding the bag. "Not finding your
packages? Where are they? Oh, this is a *Mac*, so on odd Tuesdays of
months with a 'u' in them it's in .xemacs ... what day did you say it
is again?"
This attitude is why we have so few users from Windows. Curious Windows
users install XEmacs, quickly realise they can’t use their muscle memory for
keyboard shortcuts, and despise us for our arrogance in ignoring that in the
default installation. Aquamacs is much more popular than GNU Emacs on the
Mac, as far as I can work out, mainly because it cares about the platform. I
would love to have half that popularity for Carbon XEmacs, and we won’t get
it by ignoring the platform conventions for these things.
I think it's a bad idea to be too smart for anybody's good on
this
kind of thing.
