Have you actually _tried_? Actually I am running GNU Emacs 23.x for months now and before that, I was using GNU Emacs 22.x so yes. > Can you point to any area, even a single one, where the supposed > "stability" of Emacs 21.4 leads to better results than, say, the > pretest 22.0.99? > > I won't be able to do that since I never ever had a problem with GNU > Emacs 21.x on a GNU/linux platform. Then you are not seriously using it. What's your problem exactly ? I am using GNU Emacs for all sort of stuff going from source code editing to listening to music so I am a hard long-term GNU Emacs user and I *do really* use it very seriously. And yes, I keep on saying that GNU Emacs 21.x is really stable and I never encountered any troubles. If I was not coding modes/packages for GNU Emacs, I would have probably sticked to GNU Emacs 21.x, for sure. Xavier -- http://www.gnu.org http://www.april.org http://www.lolica.org
