Though I'm drifting further from the topic, I do need to nod in strong
agreement. So much commercial software (you know to whom I refer,
actually two "whoms") takes the approach, "You will do things THIS way
because WE deem it best. Adapt your work processes accordingly; we
know better than you do, after all."

Emacs, OTOH, is closer to anarchy than it is to Big Government, but
it's a beneficial anarchy.

Perhaps an appropriate sentiment for today, 14 julliet.
