Well, your first hint was "true emacs user". Of course that is tongue in cheek. I probably have the same definition of "true emacs user" as any other sensible person has. I used M-x shell for a few weeks and haven't been back in years. Hence, my statement. I'm under no illusion that others won't agree with me, but I have little choice in the viewpoints I express. They all seem to be mine no matter what I do. Anyway, just about everything I do is Makefile based. I see lots of people use Makefiles for the compile phase but I find that the test phase is intricately linked to the development phase and I combine both operations. It works for me and it works well, so I'll continue to push the viewpoint unless someone can explain why it's better to jump into M-x shell and start firing off random commands as if they may never have to issue them again or somehow they won't work as well in the compile buffer. -- Dan Espen
