Subject: Praise for Emacs 22 from a user
Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 22:12:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44639AB5.4090507@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

   I'm an Emacs user of around 4 years, and although I'd name my
first child after this most omniscient of editors, many of my
friends abhor Emacs. Thankfully, version 22 addresses many
of their concerns.

   I now feel confident that when I present Emacs to friends
and colleagues, they will not immediately be put off by a
smelly interface.

   Thanks to everyone who has worked to make Emacs more
attractive and accessible; you've done us all a great
favour, and I salute you. I hope that when v22 is released
it will be the start of an "Emacs renaissance" :-)

Regards,
Ralph

PS. Do you think v22 will be ready before the Ubuntu
     Dapper release? I'd love to see and updated Emacs
     bundled with Dapper.
