by that definition, I'm finding really hard to think of any product that allows for extensibility/extensions that won't be "designed to fracture".

- secstate 3y agoEmacs?
- eddythompson80 3y agoEmacs is definitely designed to fracture. Pretty sure I can write the same article with %s/vscode/emacs/g. The only thing emacs is missing is a commercial offering, and it's definitely going to fracture in the same way. Android is designed to fracture, Linux is designed to fracture, Clang is designed to fracture, Windows is designed to fracture. Take GCC for example. It was philosophically designed to _not_ fracture due to how its plugin system was designed. As far as I know, there is no such limitations on emacs plugins. Plugins and their interface are what enables fracturing as this article defines it.
