1) I bet Stallman's never used ido.

2) You already use Emacs. What would it take to get a new user to use it? It would have to be installed by default, and be the quickest and easiest way to edit a file. That means startup performance.



Stallman hasn't been in charge of Emacs for over a decade.


> That means startup performance.

Or the server/client setup could just be the default and the server starts at system boot.


Linux distros aren't going to install an Emacs daemon by default.


Last I checked, they don't have full installs of vim either. So either way you're going to be installing a package (which is hardly a great ordeal...)


Can you do that for all users? The server is a per-user server, isn't it?
