It is nice to know that I am special ;-). Do I get extra points if I told you that I do it all on a custom mechanical plank keyboard with blank keycaps? Of course, I don't use emulation. My windows manager is exwm, so I do everything in emacs.

I don't want to, my fingers do it anyway. Send help please.

Joke aside, the key bindings work in a lot of places outside of emacs, which unfortunately are slowly eroding away.

Keybindings are all a crapshoot when it comes to working with different platforms though. macos is notably frustrating in this regard.

Intellij hotkeys at least are a Ctrl+Alt+Shift nigthmare. Are Emacs keybinds really that bad? Well, I wouldn’t know anymore since I use Evil…

Emacs keybinds are great. How do you move the cursor up, down, left, and right without them, the arrow keys? My pinky doesn't stretch that far, and if I have to move my hand I'm gonna lose time moving back because I need to find the articulation for my index finger. Vi bindings are even worse: you start typing and the text goes haywire because you're in the wrong mode.
