Agreed. I used to have a local hack that caused the .emacs to be read
before creating the initial frame, so now I can finally drop this hack.

There are advantages to using ~/.emacs (e.g. emacs --debug-init drops
you in the debugger instead of dumping a stack trace), but it's not
universally superior.
