after reading some of the criticism links, i think that guy is
somewhat kooky. His user interface expertise is mostly web only i
think ...

As for emacs... i think there are few user interface changes emacs
could use. Emacs 23, released yesterday, has visual line arrow key
movement and highlight text selection, which are great. There are few
i think emacs could go after. e.g. have typing or delete key replace
selection automatically (delete-selection-mode). This comes naturally
when you have text selection on.

For those interested, please see

Hello Xah! To tell truth, in using Emacs, i'm depending on mouse
mostly. So totally i agree with you in your opinion. Thanks for good
writing ..;;
