Actually, epsilon does an incredible job of picking the best keybindings from
both the original emacs and gosling's emacs-- by far the best default set I've
ever used.  None of this ``We must follow the holy bindings chosen by RMS'' shit.

[Note that the last version of epsilon I used was something like 1.0x...  At
 the time, I used Twenex emacs a lot more than Gosling's.]
