- jjoonathan 6y agoNot really. The most common keybindings of GUI text editing have largely converged, and those that haven't collectively account for similar total complexity to, say, basic file/buffer management and movement in emacs. Yes, the life of an editor nomad sometimes involves hitting the wrong key to build or occasionally forgetting which modifiers trigger block select, but those adjustment pains are typically overshadowed by the joys of high-priority platform integration that works straight out of the box, and they're downright tiny in comparison to the pain I used to experience getting half-assed platform support up and limping in emacs.
