FWIW, Emacs is a GNU tool at the end of the day. Complaining about upstream changes negatively effecting MacOS is like complaining to Microsoft when your games don't run in WINE. It's the wrong tree to bark up, even if the project is community-led.


Yet, by the very nature of its freedom, if people are unhappy with the direction GNU Emacs goes, they can take it another way.

Hence XEmacs. And hence why I run the Mituharu-branch [1] Emacs rather than upstream on Mac.
