its fine if there are such distributions. i just dont think they should be the main distribution. by this i mean: i think the distro you get when you click the 'download editor' button on the site of the author of the editor or enter apt-get install editor, should eliminate these extras to avoid intimidating people too much and achieve a nice cleaned up aesthetic. editors like emacs and vim are already have a steep learning curve without any extras and experts who need the extras will find them. i am a great admirer of what stallman did for free software and i really like the idea of emacs. however i am also aware that its usage is declining. so i do believe taking a more critical look at his decisions is worth it.
