Re: Keypad Editors and Teachability

Please bear in mind that keypad-oriented editors suck for touch-typists.
I can touch-type EMACS. But I can't touch-type in editors that demand
that my right hand keep straying over to the right in order to use
that silly keypad. I will admit that for non-touch-typists, and
for naive users, keypads are probably easier to use. But I DETEST
editors that don't give me a choice, and force me into a slower
mode of typing...
