And here I wanted to write more and I pressed send before I did. The 
exchange of style files or macros between users is in my opinion useful 
and should be encouraged. For example Massimiliano posted a few days ago 
his CV to use as a template; the right place to post it would be a 
public repository, where users could post their style files and macros; 
IMO it should be a place with as little supervision as possible, there 
are models of these repositories for open source projects.

TeXmacs is a comprehensive system and in itself has more functionalities 
than "LaTeX without packages". Still the availability of macros and 
style files written by users would help in my opinion.
