    In the paper [\textit{T. Ito, P. Terwilliger, C. Weng}, ''The quantum algebra \(U_q(sl_2)\) and its equitable presentation'', J. Algebra 298, No. 1, 284--301 (2006; Zbl 1090.17004)] an interesting and very symmetric presentation of the quantum algebra \(U_q(\text{sl}_2)\) was found. In the present paper the author rewrites the standard presentation of the quantum group associated with a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra in terms of these new ``equitable'' \(U_q(\text{sl}_2)\)-generators. The paper is very technical, and the main technical difficulty is to find an appropriate replacement for quantum Serre relations.
