If you want to seriously use Emacs, it's just about mandatory to use a
keymap editor and swap the Caps Lock and Ctrl keys. Otherwise the
cramps from finger-pretzel positions can get pretty bad.
Way back when (eons ago) that's the way keyboards were originally
setup. Then the IBM AT became popular and all of the folks from the
typing pools demanded that the Caps Lock key be put where they expected
it from using their typewriters.

Love Vim. Keep trying to grok emacs because I keep believing with
that eLisp programming language in there it has got to be super
powerful, but can't quite get past the Wordstar finger-pretzel key
combinations. Nano (formerly pico, I believe, from the people who
brought you Pine and now Alpine) is great if you have a few lines to
pop in a really quick change to, but falls out quickly when you need
lots of editor horsepower.
