Well, then let them use it. Why should you force Emacs onto them if they don't want it? While I think that it might be nice if Emacs would abstract interface elements internally to a degree to make it possible to employ most of the standard widgetry available nowadays, this is going to be a slow process at best, and it has to be done carefully in order not to tie oneself too closely to the technology du jour: Emacs' life span has been _much_ longer than that of its host systems. > In addition I would like to be able to something like > http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-editor/gef-schema-editor.html > inside emacs. That looks so much like a graphical application that it appears completely pointless to have it "in Emacs". Tighter integration with the graphic creating software might be desirable, like being able to use Emacs for editing text widgets, but the application itself is probably better left apart from Emacs. preview-latex <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> will provide graphical elements in a more or less accessible way, but you still edit the source code, not the elements themselves. And Emacs is, after all, a source code editor. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
