Anyway, I'm not trying to change anybody's mind about the default key bindings. I have just been hoping that user could practically design her own global bindings but even that's not quite possible because the f-b-n-p mnemonics and other default keys are so deeply hard-coded everywhere. There's not enough abstraction on that front.
I think you are right. I was thinking the same thing this morning.In a supposedly configurable editor, it is pretty hard to change key bindings. This seems like a deep flaw in the architecture of Emacs. Perhaps this is what the emacs developers should focus on: make the key bindings configurable. Then there would be no need to go through debates like this any more.
