Can we please stop with the extravagant claim that new users are not
attracted to emacs because of some idiosyncratic bindings? It is true
that there are features thatemacs lacks, or are suboptimal, that some
popular editors have, but the bindings don't scare anyone. Repating
that claim won't make it true.
One should strive for what is sensible and logical, not what is
currently modern and popular. The reason people are attached to "the
old way" is because it makes sense, and it has proven itself over 30
years.
