Because such things may need to be discussed with other people, and
this involves an email client, a web browser, an instant messenger, or
any combination of the above. Yes, I’m aware Emacs has solutions for
each of those, and no, I do not want to give up Firefox, Thunderbird
and Gajim. That’s what I meant when I said I believe in an operating
system/environment outside Emacs.
