Whenever I use a "standard" text editor, I find myself typing M-q to fill, C-a and C-e to move, M-d to delete words, etc. And I FEEL frustrated when they don't work. Not a look-and-feel, eh? I say key bindings are an essential part of look-and-feel. BTW, yes I read news from within Emacs, and I have not touched the mouse once in more than an hour. -- Ludovic Brenta.
