This is exactly how I feel about the "modern" interfaces in Emacs. 
I reported a bug in Embark recently, and because I could not 
select and copy the text, I ended up re-typing the text that was 
right in front of me in Emacs. Say what? For me, Emacs is a 
program where I expect to never waste time re-typing anything. 
Magit has a similar feel to it, and I can never be sure if the 
program will allow me to select text in the diverse parts of its 
user interface. In my opinion, such uncertainty is bad for power 
users. I would expect this from Apple or Microsoft software, 
because their latest “UX designers” surely know better than 
anyone, but in Emacs?
