Lotus Notes has no serious competition.

Andy's patch-checking script will (should) detect wordwrapping,
tab-expansion and hopefully space-stuffing.  When we get that sorted out,
people who submit broken patches to one of the lists should get a robot
reply within minutes telling them what they did wrong, so things will
become largely self-correcting.

I am sooooo looking forward to that thing.  <Sends note to Nobel prize
