A blog where I will write mostly about programming in Cocoa and CoreMIDI, and experiences from my ports of Emacs and XEmacs to the Mac OS.
| Top Ten Reasons I Don’t Work on Emacs Any More |
Let’s start off the New Year by explaining why I quit maintaining Emacs for Mac OS X in the form of a top ten list. I’m really trying more to be truthful than mean-spirited but reasons for quitting will inevitably be negative :-)! So here it goes:
- Endless stupid questions.
- Ugly code with no design.
- Design decisions based on “software freedom” and not technical considerations.
- Developers’ gratuitous changes constantly breaking Mac build.
- People making premature binary releases.
- Geeky and rude “discussions” on emacs-devel and other lists.
- People taking credit for things they didn’t do.
- GNU Emacs and FSF copyright policies.
- Maintainer “expected” to be free software advocate/supporter.
- Core developers’ attitude that Mac OS is a “non-free” platform and not a primary goal of the project.
