    The very existence of /usr/bin/emacs *is* a great service provided
to the user: every one can run as many instances of it as needed, and
there is no need for a complicated operation through dbus to use it.

    Why not "elevate" gcalculator, libreoffice or foo-bar to behave as
servers activated through dbus? But to gain what?

    I'm curious to learn in what sense the emacs experience would be
different, if it was provided by a permanently running emacs server to
which users would connect through dbus? Appart from being complicated
and fragile.
