It's like saying Emacs doesn't need to adapt, if someone wants to use = it then learn the emacs terminology. There were other threads about making emacs easier to use, less alien. Litt= le arbitray differences from mainstream systems add up and make emacs less fam= iliar for no good reason. An other example is the window/frame vs pane/window difference, though I r= ealize that's much harder to change, considering that all of emacs uses it. That m= ay be too much work and may not be worth the effort to change it. But if smaller differences which may not need much work can be eliminated t= hen they should be.
