You're welcome to cripple yourself (and you'd be in illustrious company -- just about every famous name in Emacs's history has suffered severe RSI); I was just trying to answer your original question.
- kleiba 5y agoI don't think fame has anything to do with it, but for what it's worth, I've been using emacs for over 25 years and have never suffered from any form os RSI. I don't feel crippled, by the way. But since I like keeping an open mind, if you have any actual arguments, please feel free to share. In the mean time, if you're also open, I recommend checking out some counter arguments, for instance in the work of Larry Tessler.
- countvajhula 5y agoIt was definitely a surprise to me when I learned some time ago that "modelessness" was considered an innovation when it was developed, since editors before that (I assume) were all modal! But I don't think modal/modeless is either/or. It can be (and I personally use) both.
