Exactly :)
Keyboard macros are truly amazing. They are always the first feature of
Emacs that I demonstrate to people who have completed the basic keyboard
stuff of the tutorial. Everyone who sees keyboard macros `in action'
instantly loves them!
(This is probably why VIM and other modern vi(1) implementations have
keyboard macro features too, but I am not 100% sure.)
