Yeah, but Emacs _is_ kind to those users, to the extent that it's
practical and reasonable.  E.g., cua-mode, the addition of shift-select
(on by default), etc.

The problem with Tom's "proposal" is that he seems to want Emacs to make
a complete wholesale change to a different (and inferior, but that's not
really the issue) set of bindings, and that's _not_ practical or
reasonable.
