We are aware that we lack many features in Ciao when used directly from a terminal (no Emacs at all). We could implement them if there is enough interest, for example:
- support for readline
- query predicate documentation from the toplevel
- man pages for command-line tools (which is what most users expect).
Well, I can unequivocally say that the interest I had in Ciao as of a few days ago has utterly vanished as a result of hearing that Emacs is, for all practical purposes, required. The only editor I use is ABE. (*A*nything *B *ut *E*macs)
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who doesn't use Emacs out there.
