You're very fond of emacs, clearly. No wonder. I side with Emmanuel Berg's point of view because I tend to look at software as things which cannot fail whatever. If they fail, chances are I will look into the failure to see why. I don't want to find out that I'm spending hours investigating an experiment someone decided to try out since last week. IOW, if something failed, I must be dealing with a true exceptional situation here. Of course, nothing keeps from having a system that's used merely for playing. (Though I particularly don't have one. In fact, I don't have a computer at home. I use one at work.)
