Well, Tobbe *did* put a smiley in there:-) - of course there has been
many reasons for something else (which is why the "xerl" was produced),
the problem seems to be that people don't want Erlang to come with a
programming environment, they want Erlang to fit into the programming
environment they already have.

I.e. it isn't a whole lot the "core" Erlang developers can do about it,
except preach the virtues of Erlang and hope that enough people demand
an "Erlang mode" for their favorite programming environment as a
result.:-) Anyway, in case you find something, please share the info.
