  My guess: New maintainers: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg02140.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg021... I like the new policy, which seems to be one potentially disrupting new technology per major release. Previously, major releases tried to do too much at once, which lead to some very unstable and sometimes alienating .0 releases.

  It's really hard to find features missing from Emacs after 23 releases.

    No kidding! Emacs 23 even added support antialiased text for heavens sake. Who needs such a useless feature?
    • rbanffy 16y ago
      Emacs always had anti-aliased text if you used it within a terminal that had it. I never missed anti-aliased text that much - there are plenty of good fonts that render well without it. Now that it has, it looks much better. However, the idea of giving up its power in order to get pretty fonts with a lesser editor is ludicrous.
