Re: Yet another GUI releated thought

[Michael Goffioul]

Of course, I meant a high-level of integration with octave, its
graphics backend and its terminal emulation and its variable
watch window...

I have no doubt that you can integrate a lot of things into emacs,
but I think it would less easy to integrate emacs into something
else. In other words, emacs tends to be the master controller.
Anyone that wants to build an octave GUI in emacs is of
course free to do it.

On the other hand, if by "GUI" one simply means xterm+emacs,
then I think the problem is solved: octave has a GUI, no need
for anything else.
