The GTK version is the least eccentric emacs so far.


All the people who I know who have learned emacs (including me but I
don't know about Geoff) have learned it because they saw that it is an
important tool. Not that it was a cool editor... but a unique and
powerfull tool.

What I'm getting at is that you have to _want_ to deal with the
eccentricity. It's a bit like knowing, wanting to know, rms; or Billy
Childish; or Jeffery Bernard.
