Er, that's not what I meant by 'collapsed in a heap'. I meant 'become too buggy to use'. Speaking as someone who's been using Emacs and/or XEmacs for more than twenty years now, this has never happened.

Speaking as someone who tried to integrate a debugger (a REAL debugger, not that #$#@*&$^@#*& gdb command line) into emacs - it IS a stinking mess.

Ah. Personal prejudice triumphs over the facts again (the facts that Emacs is *still working* and has not imploded into something too buggy for anyone to use, despite the arguments of coupling-is-necessarily-bad mavens such as, er, me). I see. I'll ignore you on this subject from now on, then.
