A free environment.

GNOME is not a window manager.

So?  For one thing, the font rendering will equally well identify a
platform.  For another, why _wouldn't_ GNU Emacs promote GNU

frequently used)?  Other platforms are secondary considerations.  Why
shouldn't the first priority of a GNU component be GNU?
