- 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?
