Why would you even bother with a fork whose last release was 12 years ago? :\
- frosted-flakes 5y agoMaybe that's when they tried it. Does it matter?
- alex_smart 5y agoErm, yes. Their complain was about aesthetics, and GNU Emacs has been much more aesthetic than XEmacs since forever.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoTrue enough. Do you mean it had much better aesthetics? Something can't be more aesthetic, that's like saying it's more temperature outside when you mean it's hotter.
- alex_smart 5y agoYes, considering what XEmacs looked like, I would say that newer Emacs look considerably more aesthetically pleasing. And with certain themes, Emacs can look outright gorgeous.
