Abs= ence > of init file is to be noticed only once. I think it might be better to let the users pick from selections of skins and of groups of settings when there is no ~/.emacs: It leaves the decisions to the users rather than secretly foisting settings and their non-defaults upon them, which is something they might not be willing to wolf down as easily as good defaults. Skins might make Emacs appear more handsomely or prettier, and otherwise more appealing, too. > At other places in your email, is it sarcasm ? How could I possibly answer that? When I say "It depends on how seriously you take it.", I would be very inappropriately sarcastic. I could say "no", and you would think I'm sarcastic. If I say "It's only the way I write that can make it seem so.", you don't know what to think. Just asking which places you're referring to could also make you think I'm sarcastic.
