No, but it is a good example of what this discussion is all about.  When 
I am developing code, I open emacs, and design, code, document, test, 
and debug from inside emacs.  I may have to be aware of Windows quirks 
and quivers if I am targeting the Windows GUI, but other than that the 
only GUI I need for software development--for any target--is emacs.

can only be destroyed--and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the business 
at hand."  -- Dick Cheney
