I am not a strong advocate of either system but your comments do not sound forward-looking but anachronism. Who knows, we may run emacs on a cell phone someday. I am awfully impressed by the advancement of today's technology. I can compile and run the latest emacs on a MIPS in my target embedded system while I had to run a fastest workstation for several hours to compile emacs which was much smaller than today. That was 15 years ago. -Tak Mon, 14 Jun 2004 14:50:16 -0400: Richard Stallman wrote: > Please bear with my ignorance, if I happen to say something stupid; > but couldn't just Emacs talk to the bug tracking system directly so > that a user has no need to start a browser? > > This does not solve the problem.
