``
In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at Chicago Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.''
Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free. He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not follow their own stupid rules.

The script I linked was posted in 2002, I don't know when Emacs copied that from Vim, but it's got to be way later.

No, writing Tetris for an editor is inane. Just because Emacs has some stupid feature, it doesn't make Vim any more impressive because it too has that stupid feature. Stop trying to validate your choice of editor. Chances are that nobody cares.
If nobody else has any Emacs tips left to post then the rest of this thread is stupidity and low self-esteem.

I can post Vim tricks: au BufNewFile,BufRead ~/tabssuckproject/*.[ch] set expandtab
au BufNewFile,BufRead COMMIT_EDITMSG set syntax=diff
Make Emacs only scroll far enough to keep the point on the screen: (setq scroll-margin 0) ; Scroll when point is 0 lines from edge
(setq scroll-conservatively 2)

Automatically resize temporary buffers to use not more space than needed. (setq temp-buffer-resize-mode t)
>>34
You might also like this. It will hide the compilation buffer when the compilation finished without errors. (defun compilation-buffer-resize (buffer string)
(cond ((string-match "finished" string)
(bury-buffer buffer)
(delete-windows-on buffer)
(t
(fit-window-to-buffer (get-buffer-window buffer) (/ (- (frame-height) 2) 2))))))
