I do not know really much about the free software community, and I do
not know much about the TeXmacs community. It seems to me, that with
free software is done a great job, and this is especially true for
TeXmacs, like the lot of "I'm really enthusiastic about the
program ... " messages of newbies show.

I'm a little bemused that in such communities there is often a
tendency of discussions to run into aggression. Maybe this is because
of the amount of work that done by developers.

As far as I see, David and Joris are the most active people in the
development of the program. So I think that any kind of annoyance
between them is really counterproductive.

I don't feel in the position to give anyone an advice. But I wanted to
say that is a pity if argument about minor things (compared to the TeXmscs
project!) is done in that way.
