Oh, hindsight is clearly 100/100. Whatever else the great Emacs schism might have caused, it has given me two histories to extrapolate from and pontificate about. I may be overgeneralizing a lot, but then two data points are a dream constellation for curve fitting. While two data points do not seem like exactly much in the vast space of the Emacsen universe, this adds a whole new dimension over one data point. And things like Joe, Microemacs, Hemlock are just too distant viewpoints for facilitating depth perception and for being considered part of a quackworthy continuity. -- David Kastrup
