Haha not really at this point. I would have loved to in my first few months of
using emacs, but by now I don't think it will feel any more natural to me now
than it would to you.

Ah but I'm long past being accustomed to having it now. If I tried to do my job
using the MS Word style undo I'm sure that for me personally - it would be more
a hindrance than a help. Such a change could well be useful to new emacs users,
but I'm no longer one of those.
But I'm still very glad to learn that "undo-only" exists! Thank you, Stefan for
pointing that out. And I will try it out at some point - probably not when I'm
using emacs for work though.
