The core ocaml-mode has been written by so many people, that nobody will take the blame (I hope so, or you could face a vendetta.) The problem with it is that the code is such spagetthi that it gets difficult to improve it (at least the indentation part.) Having never tried Tuareg (mostly out of inertia, since I'm satisfied with the core mode), could you be more precise about what is better in Tuareg. Excluding indentation style of course, as this is a matter of taste. (But note that in order to replace the core mode, you have to be able to indent in exactly the same way.) Just curious. Ditching the core mode would indeed save time for some people. Cheers for the new year. Jacques Garrigue
