I have been using Emacs as long as it. I have no complaints about how it has developed I was particularly surprised when it complains about the GC discussion without noting the words of wisdom RMS was offering: Put the maximum effort into user visible changes. It was not that he (RMS) wanted a word processor and GC was not getting there. It was because GC improvements do not improve (in this case) user experience. It (ash) seems to think this is a sign of malevolent, not benevolent, dictatorship.
