Fair enough. But, could you elaborate on where you feel inf-lisp is more robust than ILISP? I know that there were a lot of quality issues a while ago; however, I believe that most of those have been addressed in the last couple of releases. I would have thought that ILISP today would be no less robust than inf-lisp.
I haven't used ILISP for some time and things may have changed in the meantime, but I think ILISP needs a way to detect the prompt of the Lisp to work properly. I think ILISP hangs or breaks if the prompt regexp is not set correctly. AFAIK inf-lisp also uses a such a regexp, but doesn't break if the regexp is wrong. So in this sense inf-lisp is more robust.
