It's a valid style of arguing about something. > But, you cannot deny that C-c, C-v and C-x (in my opinion the most > commonly used keyboard shortcuts) are *extremely* well supported? Yes, but the price for using so many single-character bindings is very heavy: look how heavily they use function keys and Shift/Ctrl/Alt variations of them. It's a pain to type with such bindings. Anyway, this is going nowhere: Emacs will never turn CUA on by default. We might as well stop arguing.
