I vote against backticks, since I think we can learn to live with some 
diversity. Running with the crowd, the latest fashion, would, in the end, leave 
us with something like Word and Windows, that is, something which is 
seductively easy to use the first two days, but a pain in the neck the rest of 
your life.

Unfortunately, I have seen these tendencies in Linux, in Emacs -- yes, 
live-move-visual is now default, which makes Emacs less consistent, but more 
like Word -- and even in my favourite window manager.

Please evaluate the design of Org Mode (and other things) without putting a 
value on how similar it is to other things. A bicycle would appear more 
familiar to a car driver if we replaced the handlebar with a steering wheel, 
but it wouldn't make the bike any better.

If someones fingers cannot adjust, let him/her customise a bit.

Just my two cents.
