OK, I'm going to explain my point. No offence meant.
For end users -- that is, people who use the text editor as a text
editor and are not spending time customizing the editor nor editing
the editor -- (and being myself an end user) there is not anything
really new to expect from Emacs 22.
The main point is that GNU Emacs is not _just_ a text editor. GNU Emacs is
more and more stable, it will provide updates for many modes including gnus,
it will provide many new modes such as EMMS, it will provide bug fixes, ...
This is what a release should provide: enhancements, new features, stability
and bug fixes.
Emacs still does not have the necessary features for competing with
bare text editors (I'm not talking about displaying images, reading
mail or chating with irc).
Hum, I do not see what features you are talking. Emacs is by far the most
advanced text editor providing all the coolest features one can expect from
such a software.
And let's be honest, Emacs is not going to provide any of the nice
features that Eclipse provides these days.
Can you enumerate few of these nice features ?
