I run Emacs server so a visited file list is kept in a one place... It is a part of my workflow (like quick switching to earlier visited files by fuzzy name matching/etc). And not to mention it is extra mental load to pass that DISPLAY=:0 or whatever around... I believe that X server under Windows is only to write cool blog posts, that we are able to run "xterm" )) Thanks god Cygwin is able to mount WSL's roots via P9 network file system. PS. As you haven't CCed me I had to check GNUS + Gmane again. Haven't read news for 3 years, found out that Lars Ingebrigtsen fucked up with domain transfer. -- http://defun.work/
