I mean emacs does not use the current desktop font infrastructure, does not use one of the main GUI desktop toolkits, does not support cleanly i18n & our main encoding (UTF-8), does not integrate with the accessibility infrastructure, does not integrate with the printing infrastructure, and the list goes on and on. That means emacs: 1. is unable to provide a lot of features current desktop users expect (and that's not a question of eye-candy, a terrific amount of work happened on the desktop these past years) 2. depends on a lot of stuff that must be kept working and configured properly just for it. First point is grounds for not being installed by default (already happened). Second point is grounds for ultimately being kicked out of distros altoguether (will take a few more years for the drag to become unbearable) Emacs may join the 21st century in the next decade. Till it does it's squarely aimed at the museum. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
