In a strategic moral sense that would be a bad direction to go. Most
users use a nonfree web browser, or a mostly free but nasty browser
such as Chromium. The ones that are free are noncopylefted. To
change Emacs into something people usually run under a browser would
be an enormous change for the worse in regard to giving users freedom.
The level of convenience is not th e most important one. We must
judge significant design issues in terms of these questions: advancing
the territory of free software, of copyleft, and of separation from
unjust software.
