Pre-testing Emacs 22

Pre-testing Emacs 22

Parent article: Pre-testing Emacs 22

When the Emacs 22 test release was announced, I tried the Debian package
of emacs-snapshot-gtk. I quickly discovered that something in the
menu-nesting code makes emacs crash, so I abandonded further testing for
now.

However, it did get me taking another look at GNU Emacs after using
Xemacs for a few years. And I've discovered that GNU Emacs 21 (with
sufficient customization/configuration) works better for me than XEmacs
21, so I've switched back to GNU.

Oh, and I'm happy to see that I have the same emacs vs. vi habits as our
esteemed editor. Though I sometimes like to use zile on servers to get a
bit of the emacs experience without losing the speed of vi.

If you don't report the bug, it won't be fixed when you come back to it later. Please report the bug (to the Emacs devs, not to LWN.net).
