i think that wg charters should mandate emacs. :) we have a variety of tools, a variety of people, and a variety of needs. there are no perfect tools, perfect people (present company excepted, of course), and unsophisticated needs do not match our unbounded desire for corner cases. we have a work-product funnel with a fairly wide mouth and a well- defined end. this is a feature, not a bug. i use nekked git, gogs, github, and still a remnant of RCS <blush>. i use emacs and xml2rfc. i do not feel a need to tell you what [not] to use; and will not take seriously your telling me what [not] to use. it's hard enough to get substantive work done without being over-processed and/or micromanaged. i recently co-authored a draft where a major contributor still uses nroff. i focussed on the content, and only snarked once. and i deeply appreciate the tool-makers who have given us a fairly rich variety from which to choose. and i am in awe of the makers and fellow users who help when i do a st00pid or hit a bug. thank you. randy
Well said. Joel
