Why Emacs Sucks (Part 17)

A shortcut-heavy text editor blows because pressing wrong keys by accident will put editor into some useless mode, you will never figure how to get back. For example, I've just mistakenly type some key combo I can't remember, and Emacs now says "Text is read only" and doesn't allow me to input anything.

I dunno why people love these ugly terminal-emulator-style GUI editors, like Vi and Emacs, where mouse doesn't work and you have to remember shortcuts.

The only reason I'm using Emacs, is because Common Lisp has no other IDE.

I hardly think C-f or Left Arrow is ``a shitload''. The mouse has absolutely no advantage over emacs in that regard, because you can still point and click to move the cursor, anyway. Want to try another example?
