Well 2 main reasons. First, I use emacs all the time and keep it open my whole session long. Now sometimes when upgrading cygwin, I have found myself locked out of cygwin applications (such as when base is upgraded) or I have had issues with the cygwin dll itself crashing at times and giving errors. I also don't want to have close out of all my emacs sessions when upgrading or playing around with cygwin. I find it therefore helpful to have my emacs stable and running independent of what I am doing with cygwin. Second, I like having the full GUI version of emacs but I almost never have X11 running since it just seems to add overhead to my machine, requires extra configuration, and is a bit clunky (my laptop is on the slow side). Third, and maybe less importantly, I use emacs as soon as I start setting up a new machine to take notes on my setup and it takes a while before I get cygwin running. I LOVE cygwin as much as anybody else, just it seems to me that if there is a good enough standalone app then why run it under cygwin... -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/ntEmacs-has-trouble-with-cygwin-terminal...-tp27114208p27117123.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
