Re: XEmacs at a crossroads

Really good news. Good work fighting this.

Unfortunately I must tell you that I had to remove both 2013 and 2015 version
of the free version of visual studio from my windows development machine. So I
apologize for not being able to help you on this at the moment.

This decision to delete the visual studio tools was mostly triggered by that I
needed more disc for new virtual machines in the day job.  However it would be
unfair not to come clean and admit that to some extent the "at the
crossroad"-discussion has resulted in that I have been exploring GNU Emacs
more.

So after moving to GNU Emacs on Linux a few weeks ago, to try out how hard it
would be and how it would feel, I also tried a Windows port (mingw32) of GNU
Emacs. My first impression on that exercise is that it seems OK. If that is
true or not and if there are dark corners somewhere I don't know. The thing
that was new to me was the fact that this thing even existed.

Yours Mats
