unfortunately you may be right. However then maintaining emacs will 
become a much difficult task restricted to a small number of experts - not
to say impossible. emacs is the only program known to me supporting
ncurses, motif, gtk, ..., at the same time. A museum of former pride - as 
we Germans say. I don't think this making any sense. We aren't in the 80ths 
or 90ths anymore. Basically emacs is the best text editor  known to me. 
Each time I invoke it, I fell into a deep respect for Richard, and the rest of
the gang. Emacs must become the text editor for the 3rd Millenia, and leave 
the past behind. Gtk isn't "the future", but the presence. Its a good choice 
for a world where most of us running gnome or kde, and ncurses, motif, etc. 
already has become the past. I know that this are harsh words - however they 
are true.
