Users should not adopt to Emacs. Emacs should adopt to users!I believe that Emacs key bindings are effectively preventing 99% or more of Windows programmers and other younger programmers from ever using it.I think you greatly exaggerate the difficulty of adapting to Emacs key bindings.

Otherwise, almost all of Emacs bindings will need to be changed, and most of the user manual will instantly become invalid where it describes key bindings.
I work on MS Windows as well as on two Unix-like systems, and I am veryDo any of you share these views? Why, or why not. Who else cares about this issue and what can we do to bring about this important change?AFAIK, many (most?) Emacs users (certainly its developers) want Emacs to work the same on all supported platforms.
