HURD and Emacs have RMS as their BDFL, and both are niche products at best. Emacs at least works pretty well (I use it almost every day) but HURD is a joke. Emacs is a great editor but is dwarfed in usage by vim and vscode. What's the difference between HURD and Linux that make one successful but not the other? I can't be a BDFL.
