We are aware that we lack many features in Ciao when used directly

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.�� (Anything But Emacs)

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who doesn't use Emacs out there.
