> I wish I could donate directly to Emacs

I've requested this whenever I've had the chance. I would be very happy to donate some cash to get core Emacs improved. Emacs has made a huge positive difference to my professional life for years. Unfortunately this is not made easy.

I think one of the issues last time I looked into it was that FSF couldn't have donations on a platform that was potentially tarnished by having e.g. non-free javascript running on it somewhere... All very correct and in tune with their mission I'm sure, and part of the reason why Emacs etc. has been so successful, but it would be nice if they were a bit more pragmatic occasionally.
