The behavior of redo is indeed an improvement -- it provides the
needed functionality -- but that package corrupts the buffer.
If that bug were fixed in both emacs and xemacs, I think that there
would be no complaints about undo at all.
(Oh, some people might suggest branching or viewing the history or a
different type of bunching or something, but the lack of a true redo
(as opposed to undoing the undo) is IMO among the biggest usability
issues in all of emacs-dom.)

ever was with even AIDS or MS.
