Hey everyone.
One thing I find unintuitive about nxml-mode is how it derives from text-mode.
The reason this surprises me is that when I edit XML-files, I almost exclusively (to the point of not being able to remember an exception) am working with programming-related tasks.
Therefore I expect my prog-mode-hook to have fired, and my prog-mode settings and key-bindings to be in effect (compile, projectile-navigation, commenting/uncommenting, etc etc).
But no. I have my text-mode settings instead (spell-checking, etc), which often conflict with what I want to get done.
Could we consider changing nxml-mode to derive from prog-mode instead?
While it can be considered a "breaking"-change, I think this would make much more sense. And such a change is not entirely unprecedented either: css-mode made the same transistion back in 2015. [1]
I can provide the patch for it, but first I thought I'd first check what people's opinion on such a change would be.
