Yes. The option is helpful and should be kept. It is easier than evoking Emacs with an equivalent long string of options, which are: emacs -q \ --no-site-file \ --no-blinking-cursor \ --eval '(progn (tooltip-mode -1) (tool-bar-mode -1) (menu-bar-mode -1) (scroll-bar-mode -1) (setq inhibit-startup-message t))' (`nil' instead of `-1' causes the evaluated functions to produce a message, so is no good.) If we need a long name for `-Q', and do not wish to use `--plain', please consider --no-init-site-splash-decorations-blinking which is long and ugly but does tell you what the option avoids. -- Robert J.
