VI better that emacs? How neo-conservative! Some good points here, but I
don't know about the arrow keys being "inherently evil". I suffer with
modern keyboards, and look forward to better days. (I still mess myself up
in vi by hitting Caps Lock by mistake.) I think a good solution is some
kind of quickly-configurable keyboard that can be customized the way Motif,
KDE, Gnome can be. It's impossible to please everybody with one keyboard.
