I agree with Kevin. The MPW development system is known
for being a tad on the slow side :-), if we develop tools superior
to MPW, programmers would surely use them and FSF slogans
could be displayed when the tools were invoked.
The only reason I bought my Mac II was the better text and
graphics display than either IBM's or Amiga's (though either one
with a Multisync-type monitor is close but not close enough).
My heart and spirit are with you RMS, even though my body is stuck
is rain-drenched Waterloo.
