i also happen to find the unavailability of line numbers in gnu emacs
dissapointing.  perhaps it's because the only editor that i've used
prior to gnu emacs was ed and vi which both have line numbers.  i
would make the cursory argument that unless it is fairly difficult and
adds a significant amount of extra code to the editor that it would be
a nice thing to have.  in issues of taste i prefer systems that allow
you to do it your way rather than force you to do it their way.  that's
what's so nice about emacs; for the most part that's true of it.
