+1

why? I believe that "emacs style edit keys" is something for
software developers, but software is /written/ for /users/.

Personally I never used emacs (although I've been a software
developer all the time), and I simply don't know them. Most,
if not all users of our commercial apps, won't know them as
well, and thus they may be surprised if they hit a key that
they are used to do something and experience something else.

One example is CTRL/A: fortunately moving the cursor to the
beginning of the text is only a little annoying, but there may
be keys combinations that do something "disastrous" that is
not expected by the user.
