ESR did not bring us emacs or gcc, but he has made some contributions:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html
I'm most grateful for vc-mode in emacs.
(I'm merely addressing a factual point and in no way excusing the way ESR treats RMS in writing.)
- papsosouid 14y agoCertainly "never produced any code" was hyperbole, but "contributions" is being pretty generous. Hobbling together some random scripts nobody has ever used isn't really contributing. Most of what he has tried to contribute has been rejected.
- adavies42 14y agogiflib is probably his most important project in terms of how many people use it gpsd is probably the project he's working on right now with the most potential for widespread use and importance forgeplucker http://home.gna.org/forgeplucker/ http://home.gna.org/forgeplucker/ (oddly not linked at http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html) is probably the project he's working on right now that's the most interesting (and ironically something i expect RMS would be a huge fan of)
- indubitably 14y ago""" imgsizer: This is a nifty little HTML authoring tool that will generate correct Netscape-style WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters for each of your IMG tags on an HTML page. This will allow the text portions of the page to load much faster. Requires that you have either identify(1) or a recent file(1) and rdjpegcom(1) installed. The RPM is architecture-independent. Requires Python. """ Ok then.
