"Keyboard shortcuts can be changed in lots of editors and OS's." Yes, but you can't change the editing model as easily, e.g. converting a modeless editor in a modal one just by changing a few shortcuts. My take is that there are two camps: people who adapt themselves to the tools they use and people who try to adapt their tools to their ways and their ever-changing view of the world. The former want the tool to help them to get things done, the latter want the tool to help them to get things done their own way. The former look at tools as tools, the latter look at tools as extensions of themselves.
