Hi Marc,

There were numerous huge flame wars in the past couple of years
regarding this. Perhaps you are a new comer. :D

Here's some answer to your skeptism.

The Reason for ergoemacs is:

• Why Emacs's Keyboard Shortcuts Are Painful

The reason that my elisp source code's formatting not always being
have 100% lisp convention is because partly lazy and partly consider
this formatting issue is a major myth that causes major harm to the
industry. Here's some essays about it:

• Fundamental Problems of Lisp
  (see the section “Automatic, Uniform, Universal, Source Code
Display”)
  http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/lisp_problems.html

• The Harm of Hard-wrapping Lines
  http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/hard-wrap.html

• Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code
  http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/tabs_vs_spaces.html

The following essays are on some feature that could've been:

• A Simple Lisp Code Formatter
  http://xahlee.org/emacs/lisp_formatter.html

• A Text Editor Feature: Extend Selection By Semantic Unit
