Well, I have to tip my hat to that little bit of plumbing....
Almost makes me want to give up tcsh/perl for bash/awk.
On the defense-of-Emacs-in-core front, I propose this:
For "core" (i.e., bringing up systems, hacking broken config files)
Emacs addicts would only need the simplest bindings--none of that
usenet/chess/walk-the-dog stuff that never gets used. (But it would
be nice if some customization was possible, like reading .emacs)
I wonder if...
1) I should start yet another Light Emacs Project in C (as long as
it could eat the funny bindings in my ~/.emacs file!)
No! Better if...
2) Emacs-common could be broken into core/extras portions with
a <1/10 ratio, since it is currently 300+MB
I suppose vim+vimacs or joe/jmacs are options, but I have never tried
them because Emacs was always available in "core". (Oh, hell, I'll try
joe... Hmm jmacs works, but it is a little annoying since it has
slightly different bindings and ignores my ~/.emacs file.)
3) If emacs is pitched into extras, anaconda could indicate that
joe->jmacs->emacs clone to smooth some ruffled feathers.
