On second thoughts I think that "romper suit" could be a splendid choice.


There are voices that call GNU Emacs being old. (Ridiculous!)

All the time missing documentation is detected. (Comes from hiding private 
parts in public.)

Particularly in German "romper suit" (meaning a suit to struggle or kick about) 
has a hidden connotation: It seems to motivate younger ones to try to escape 
it… (There exists a similar and clean white suit for a particular sort of 
residents. And might be possible that some customisation escapes that "large 
customization".)

It adds to the use of GNU Emacs specific terms. (Frame, window, buffer, mode 
line, point, …)

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
