| I just got a demo of the Eclipse editor and saw these features
| which we should have in Emacs.
|
| * Having tabs above a window to switch buffers in it.
|
| * "Perspectives" are named persistent window configurations. We have
| had the window configuration mechanism in GNU Emacs since the
| beginning but we have never developed a good user interface to take
| advantage of them. Eclipse's user interface seems to be good.

A lot of software was inspired by Emacs as well. Even Microsoft try to 'steal'
it.

| Sometimes it seems like the Emacs editor has features that only
| operating systems have. You can, for instance, run an Internet
| Relay Chat client to chat online right from inside of Emacs.
