I've = noticed a number of efforts to significantly customize Emacs in a way = that other people can readily use. The first term that came to mind was = "flavor", as it seems to largely be a matter of taste. On second thoughts I think that "romper suit" could be a splendid = choice. There are voices that call GNU Emacs being old. (Ridiculous!) All the time missing documentation is detected. (Comes from hiding = private parts in public.) Particularly in German "romper suit" (meaning a suit to struggle or kick = about) has a hidden connotation: It seems to motivate younger ones to = try to escape it=85 (There exists a similar and clean white suit for a = particular sort of residents. And might be possible that some = customisation escapes that "large customization".) It adds to the use of GNU Emacs specific terms. (Frame, window, buffer, = mode line, point, =85) -- Greetings Pete We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
