I think the author has an agenda (see his latest postings on
gnu.emacs.help) that makes his articles suspect of propaganda and
bias.

I also think that Emacs maintainers do care about keeping Emacs in
sync with modern UI and editing requirements, and recent Emacs
development shows that very clearly.  Rational suggestions for
improvements in these areas are welcome, of course (please post them
to emacs-devel@gnu.org, not here), but blindly accusing Emacs of being
stagnant in a Web page is a very inefficient way of achieving the goal
of talking Emacs maintainers into changing Emacs.
