Sure.  And more users stand to benefit from Windmove commands if they
are bound to C-x 4, than if they were required to bind such commands
themselves, commands defined by a package that is already of marginal
interest?  What extraordinary logic!

Since Doom Emacs exists and is Free Software, why are users not at
liberty to install it and bid farewell to reaction and "stasis" in Emacs
development?  And why is it a matter for our consideration whether we
fail or succeed in competing with them?  Any mention of "competition"
with an Emacs package is already a contradiction in terms.

Spoken like a true intellectual, in the face of a real-life example to
the contrary.
