Yes, The shortcuts are painful, countless times I've wished I had more fingers per hand...
But I don't think this will be be any use for anyone who has gotten used to the layout of emacs already... I know I wouldn't. Once those shortcuts are hardwired to your brain, there is no going back. Plus if the shortcut ends up being really too painful, most everyone would just adjust it in their .emacs.
But this is something I will definitely suggest any newcomers to emacs.

- jerf 17y ago"Once those shortcuts are hardwired to your brain, there is no going back." Tried it? It's easier than you think. A fun experiment: Take two keys and switch them, like s and a. See how long it takes to adjust. In my experience, under an hour.
- dryicerx 17y agoI've tried many times, and I really want to go back (because when I sit at a vanilla emacs, sometimes it's hard to use it without my own customizations)
