I used this as a rationale for learning VIM 15 years ago.

The overwhelming majority of machines I've accessed haven't had Emacs installed, so I'm not sure if there's a huge problem with remapping your Emacs config to be something that works for you.

Part of me also thinks this is similar to the argument for buying a sedan over a coupe. For me personally, the number of times I've had to transport someone in the back seat isn't nearly sufficient to justify purchasing a vehicle with that in mind.

I don't know if suffering through the default bindings is worth the pain for the once in a blue moon that you'll be using a different system that has Emacs installed.
