As a newbie (to this list though not emacs) myself, I tend to agree
myself. Just remember that when you say:

Do you realize that "doing everything like others do" may require
heavy-duty rewrites? Someone has to do that. That someone should be
motivated.
As a personal example, I am trying to put together something that will
make APL usable under emacs. The code will at most be a few hundred
lines of elisp and maybe a few dozen of xmodmap if I can wrap my head
round that (if I do manage it). If the expected scale was a hundred
thousand lines (or more), I would not even think about it.
So
1. Demands for change are good; just have a sense of the scale
2. Personally I would wish emacs to be more 'modern' -- yeah thats a
vague wishy-washy statement :-)
