Re: Some developement questions

Hi Eli.

This is one of the reasons the proposed feedback is a good idea. To identify different kinds of users and their needs.

One of my proposed questions is about the server. Some people just dont like to have the server. So they care about startup.

 Why bother with the Emacs server when you can just make Emacs start up
 as fast as Vim? ;)

Not sure if this is a serious question.  But if it is, then the answer
is clear: because keeping Emacs running at all times means you keep
all the stuff that isn't saved to files, like buffers that don't visit
files (*scratch* being the most important one of them), various
history variables, etc.
