It is very disappointing to hear negative comments about this gem of software, just because of a couple of icons that are not in the taste of some readers.

Apparently there is a deep ignorance in part of the current Mac community about Free Software. Apparently there is also deep ignorance about the outstanding contributions of Richard Stallman and his beautiful creature, Emacs.
Maybe this is due to the massive Apple campain to have win users to switch, which will eventually poison the community. But what I would like is that people think and get documented before commenting.

Emacs and VI have been the only two free, powerful, programmable and customizable text editors for ages. Platform independent. If someone does not understand programming languages and lisp, then she better avoid commenting about Emacs. If someone writes documents in M$ Word and similar crap editors, because he does not know how to use LaTeX, then he better stay silent about Emacs. I've been using Emacs for 15 years over several Unix platforms and it never (yes, never) let me down with a lost file because of a crash.

Aquamacs, in particular, is the best possible incarnation of Emacs in MacOs.

If someone needs some silly aqua-fresh look then she better use TextEdit or buy herself some expensive license. He probably cannot even tell the difference between TextEdit and a programmable editor.
