Thanks for this comment!

Last night and this morning I looked at emulating Leo with emacs
windows and speedbars. Some things are easy, like arranging windows in
an emacs frame, some things are much hard, like speedbar.

My immediate conclusion is that Leo-in-Emacs would be a speculative,
risky venture.

Indeed, I am torn with a classic approach/avoidance situation.  Some
parts of Emacs are intriguing, while others are repulsive :-)  Your
comments are strongly pushing me in the "avoidance" direction.

Leo's @thin format is practically identical with org mode's format,
except for the embedded gnx's.  I think that is good enough for now.

I agree.  It's time to finish the small stuff and move on to better
vim emulation and code completion.

Again, thanks for your comments.  I trust your judgment a bit more
than my own in such matters.
