When I looked at it, I discovered that the original caml mode has overall the same set of features (with some of them coming earlier due to it being maintained by the OCaml team), was reasonably well documented and was split in multiple source files instead of one monolithic .el for tuareg-mode. I switched to the standard caml-mode. The indentation, coloring and shorctuts are a bit different, but otherwise I don't see what motivated the better tuareg reputation. Are you planning to add new features that would make tuareg decisively better ? Have I missed some existing killer feature ? Why did you choose to maintain the tuareg mode instead of collaborating with the caml-mode upstream ?
