I agree. I like the looks of the notepad, but IMHO it resembles the icon
of notepad.exe on MS Windows to much. notepad.exe is no more than a
notepad, but Emacs is much more. But which metaphor is better?
Maybe this: Emacs is sometimes referred to as
"The Swiss Army Knife of Editors"
since it has a tool for every need. But I don't know if it would do as
an icon.
