I have used EMACS for about 8 years now and have sworn by it, since I can use it on almost every machine. Unfortunately, I've noticed that my hands hurt quite a bit at the end of the day, _especially_ when I edit files with EMACS. The frequent use of the CNTL key combined with another key is the motion that is most painful. (e.g. I use C-b and C-f a lot to move around within a line, since commands like M-F and M-B actually take longer). Because of this, I'm seriously considering switching over to the evil VI editor to save my hands from permanent damage (no kidding!). Is anyone else in the same boat? Does anyone have other suggestions? -David Tornheim
