Well it might be best if every efforts are concentrated on one point but note that we are in such a chaotic world, open source comunity, so it is inevitable and natural that there are many duplication of efforts, IMHO. I guess that you prefer unity than variety but it is your personal preference, isn't it? Don't you admit the existence of both vi and emacs or even xemacs? > I'm not opposed to sensible-x-terminal-emulator as long as everyone > understands what it is: an inelegant workaround made necessary by the > actions of people who'd rather fork xterm than contribute to it. Hmm, then a user of rxvt is a bad person? From your tone I can not help thinking that you are opposed to sensible-x-terminal-emulator only by your preference. If there is any unpoliteness please forgive me. It is only because of my lack of English ability and never my intention.
