I don't think that Emacs popularity has to do with how Emacs is developed. Blender's popularity didn't rise in last few years because they switched development to more "modern" platform, but because they changed the application from using an obscure in-house interaction model to more standard ("modern") interaction model as used in other applications. > "Multilingual" people (as you are, but also Eli) are an important part > of this, I think. Emacs is not directly the most popular text editor/IDE amongst english speaking programmers either, so I don't think it has anything to do with the language per se, but it would certainly be a plus for Emacs if manual was avialable in all worlds languages, as well as gui etc. By the way, personally, I hate when I see error messages (or other) from my OS or GCC in Swedish. In my opinion it was horrible idea to localize GCC and stdlib error messages. If I get compile/error message I wish to be able to copy it and search for it on SX/Google wherever. Having those in local language (swedish in my case) is just useless; the community is so small and hits are very few, unlike english speaking community. Same goes for elisp and emacs, the "local" community is miniscule compared to english speaking one. I have LC_ALL=C in my .bashrc, so at least GCC spits compile errors in english.
