Sorry but I disagree.  Unfortunately that sounds all too much like the
common, "I love you.  You're perfect.  Now change."  :-(

I really don't mind people creating new modes and new programs with
different keybindings.  That's great.  It is only when that breaks it
for existing users that I think it is bad.
