Oh, I was not as immodest to claim one of the most important
applications whatsoever, but only among a particular subset. It
actually happens to be rather easy to be "one of the most important
applications [among those that are] _extensively_ using the display
property", since there are not many of them. The only other one I can
think of right now would be w3, and development of that appears pretty
much stagnant.
Just ask Gerd what application produced the most bug reports in the
betatest of Emacs-21.1 concerning the display property...
