+1, including for "yet another".
Emacs had the best selection/region behavior around, especially if a user chose
to use delete-selection mode. For months now selection/region behavior has been
in the process of stumbling "improvement", leading to lots of bug reports and a
fair amount of grumbling.
Personally, I'm just waiting for this work-in-progress to die down and the final
customization settings to be made known that let users restore the previous,
sane selection/region behavior.
There are so many ways Emacs could _really_ be improved. Why is it so hard to
learn "If it ain't broke don't fix it"?
