The sooner Emacs dies, the sooner GNU devs will get around to Guilemacs, and we&#x27;ll all be better off if that time ends up coming sooner rather than later.<p>Edit: More people than I would&#x27;ve thought really ride that GNU dick. Emacs has for years propagated an idea that Elisp is somehow &#x27;good enough&#x27; to handle problems leaving plugin developers to make their own way and solve problems in unorthodox ways. Emacs has never been well-designed, and Elisp has been the cinderblock on a rope that drags the whole project down.<p>Guile on the other hand has seen steady development, good design choices, increases in performance, new features, etc. Guilemacs can&#x27;t succeed until Emacs dies.
