In in your position as well, and I'm not thinking that perhaps the RSI issues are more common for me peoples who use "correct" hand placement. I find Emacs to be very difficult to use with the proper hand placement, so perhaps it teaches users a different way to type. I rarely use the pinkys to type, and have my hands shifted compared to the standard position (my index fingers are on f and h). What this means is that I'm not always using the same fingers to type the same letters, allowing me to distribute the stress on my fingers. Of course, I end up up moving my hands more, but I don't see that as a problem. I don't look at the keyboard while typing. I have no problems with typing entire sentences without looking down, and I type reasonably fast.
