Quoting the Emacs web site:
"To improve the use of proprietary systems is a misguided goal. Our aim, rather, is to eliminate them. We include support for some proprietary systems in GNU Emacs in the hope that running Emacs on them will give users a taste of freedom and thus lead them to free themselves."
- na85 7y agoNot sure what point you're trying to make, but the person I contacted maintains a mac-specific port of emacs which adds nice features that GNU emacs lacks and won't add because of politics. So I'm not concerned about GNU zealotry and how it relates to the touchbar.
- willtim 7y agoI was making the point that this would never get to Emacs mainline. But sure, no reason why it couldn't end up in a fork, but the fork is not going to give you the same "taste of freedom" ;)
- na85 7y agoIf I wanted less functionality in exchange for more freedom I'd run Hurd ;) Emacs isn't any less free with touchbar support.
