>* have you tried using emacs w/ the blinking box cursor?

Its hard to avoid trying it since it is on by default.

>* do you find it uncomfortable?

I find almost every visual "aid" added to emacs uncomfortable.
I spend most of the first few days after I switch to a new
release tracking down and squashing "helpful" new features.
(I have nice two color windows everywhere for instance - one
foreground, one background, no font-lock explosions of
visual spagetti all over my source buffers :-).

Nope.Tracking down new features and killing them off is a
fun game :-).

Oh yea, I got one (count 'em: 1) frame too. Squashing
modes that want to pop up new frames was fun as well.
