We should put more information about internet suite, e.g. its history, comparison with standalone apps, why it failed/successed, etc. --minghong 09:45, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Frighteningly, GNU Emacs does all of the things listed as being Internet-suite capabilities -- in many cases several times over. For example, it has two web browsers (W3 and Emacs-W3M), two IRC clients (irc and ERC), at least five mail user agents (rmail, VM, Gnus, Mew, Wunderlust), two of which also work as newsreaders, Ange-FTP for working with files over FTP, several different HTML-editing modes (a dedicated HTML mode, and psgml), BBDB for maintaining contact details, and even a Gopher client if you look hard enough.

Since many of these are separately maintained extensions, it's hard to pin them down to specific versions of Emacs. What's the best way of fitting Emacs into this list? (Also, how do we measure userbase size for something which is, allegedly, primarily a text editor?)

(This may seem frivolous, but I do seriously use Emacs for daily mail, news, RSS-feeds and IRC, and occasionally as a web browser. I doubt I'm alone.)

I believe that an article about internet suites should explain what an internet suite is, a comparison page among different internet suites should be placed in another page or at least that part of the page should not be prominent the way it is today in the article itself. I suggest to split the article and to create a "Comparison of internet suites" page. Anyway I will remove the category "software comparison" because the page is not a software comparison page but it is about internet suites. --Jacobubus (talk) 19:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Internet suite. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The most recent info in this article seems to be from 2009, and since then Internet Suites don't seem to have continued in the form described by this article. Shuld it be rewritten from a historical perspective / merged with another article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobEret (talk • contribs) 00:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I cannot find any info on current suites. Maybe they dont still exist, but I could be wrong. I will post any relevant sources here. Skullovitch (talk) 16:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
