Yes I do.

In simple editing I include that the visible region behaves as they do
in other editing environment. That is something I have seen people
using very frequently.

But the CUA keys are not used equally often, but those who are used to
edit much normally use them much.

If I am kind I am not including CUA keys for basic editing ;-)
