Naturally, there are those applications (Mumble comes to mind) that don't have a command line interface (I've tried Barnard and I didn't like the way it made my microphone sound distant). Another use case that I am not sure how to get around is the JavaScript issue; I don't think that eww supports it, given that when I tried to load a JavaScript site, things went totally crazy and I needed to reboot the machine. Any tips would be greatly appreciated in making Emacs my main interface. Thanks, Hunter
