If it would be so desired.  Taking me as a particular example, all I
care about is the interface.  It seems it would be very useful if we
could reuse more interfaces.  I don't even care if my text editor is the
GNU EMACS or not, as long as it behaves just like it.  Why should I have
to type on a different software?  Text editor is text editor.  Why do we
need so many of them everywhere on the same computer system for the same
user?

I beg your pardon?
