Agreed. There is a lot of ungood karma around in this thread, which
is a pity. I can understand the different POVs, but folks, could you
try to calm a bit down?

I do understand that keybindings /is/ a hot topic. It'll keep coming
back time and again. It's worth being discussed time and again, IMHO,
because it is at some intersection of tech and social: those fields
change, therefore re-discussion is necessary.

It would be far more pleasant [1] if such discussions happened without
us hurting each other :-)
