Emacs is just Emacs to most, not GNU Emacs.
>I certainly gained much from only having to learn a single, predictable config format that GUI tools can parse easily
Linux's primary use is on servers where there usually isn't a GUI, which already had conventions for config formats, usually delineated by debianlike or RHELlike. For people that run servers (read: most Linux users by far), these changes are obnoxious.
- jcelerier 9y ago> Linux's primary use is on servers where there usually isn't a GUI, Is it ? nowadays 3% of internet traffic comes from Linux computers. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes for more than 115 million users.

Desktop is 90% windows, mobile is 70% linux (by way of Android), server space is 60% linux. Any way you slice it, Linux is responsible for a lot more traffic.
