Yes, I have also written them (in C and C++) but never thought it to be really common and even Emacs does it in a poor-man's way compared to Unix. If a process cannot even be preempted one might as well extend the definition of "scheduling" to a OO game loop that progresses the animation state of a bunch of sprites in a linked list... > It's not magic.
