Thank Icaza and RH for that. Gnome when it was born it was amazing. They shipped a window manager with LISP capabilities, Sawfish. Totally the opposite of Gnome3. I wish the FSF forked over Gnome in order to bring a Guile interface to Mutter instead of GJS. It would be much better. I memember when I discovered emacs when I was 15 or so, I was astounded. Self-documenting, with geek-nerd culture in every bit of it, a text editor with a chatbot, tetris and a text adventure bundled with it and it also was a LISP interpreter. You could do mail, news, IRC and with proper plugins, play IF text adventures with Malyon, allowing you to copy and paste from everything to everything. Now with Gnome 3 thanks to ReadHatware/XMLpest/SystemD everything wants to be a bad NT clone from Micros~1 with SystemD instead of svchost.exe.
