Haha... What is California culture in digital form? I remember being 16 and posting this rant but substituting "USA" for "California". Gotta make sure everyone knows my group is the best!
You are asking others to make something that you want that they don't want and not giving them anything in exchange (money, time, code). Then saying "ALAS" I wont make these changes myself only complain on the internet about them. These vague wondrous changes will make Emacs a "household name".
1) Who cares about being a household name. Vain goals serve no one
2) You didn't specify one actionable change.
I envy your ability to be certain about such complex and nuanced topics. To type unverifiable opinions as fact without the least bit of embarrassment is breath taking. Thank you!
