Just out of curiosity: am I the only one who *hates* when > someone or something (including M-x customize) messes up with *my* > init.el? ;) Use variable `custom-file'. That's what it's for. The only thing that messes with my init file is me. But that does not mean that I don't take advantage of Customize's type-checking, `:set' and `:initialize' trigger actions, etc. This too is a common misconception about Customize. It is _you_ who invites Customize to mess with your init file, if you don't use `custom-file'. Don't blame Customize for that. (You might blame Emacs design for even letting Customize do that, and not just raising an error if `custom-file' is not defined as a writable file. IOW, a design bug, so far.)
