Re: Is Emacs becoming Word?

[Joe Corneli]

No.  It is not.  Word can not be used for programming.

But people who write new graphical or other features *should* make an
efort to tell users how to turn the features off.

Maybe there should be a way to mark up a new feature as such
(something like the autoload construct) that will cause a "What just
happened?" message to be displayed when a new feature is run, until
the feature is either "accepted" (at which point the messages go away)
or "rejected" (at which point the feature will no longer activate).
Something like this would certainly help with the weird WYSIWYG
behavior that has newly been added to TeX modes (and other modes??).

Lately they have been saying (about Las Vegas) that whatever happens
here, stays here.  Unless you win big, of course, in which case you
probably take your money home with you.  But that happens pretty
rarely.
