This decides it for me. I no longer want to develop software for the NeXT.
I know this is a religious issue, but I absolutely refuse to use Emacs.
It doesn't work the way I do and I don't think I'm going to change the
way I work or take the time to reprogram Emacs to do what I want.

As long as Emacs is considered the only realistic programming tool and
interface, I will not get myself a NeXT. If Symantec ever releases a
Think C compiler for the NeXT, I will reconsider the point, since I
like the NeXT hardware and most of the ideas in the user interface and
system software.

Flame me, if you really feel you have to, but remember that this is
just my personal opinion and not something that you should feel as well.
