That's it. That's the reason. You can usually get Emacs key bindings (or a shallow approximation thereof) in most editors. But yeah, we're stuck, so I guess we just gotta double down.

It is fun when the young 'uns do a double take after you execute a particularly fancy macro. I do love that.

The macros are always the deal-breaker. I tried sublime text, set up emacs keybindings, then tried to ctrl-x-( to start a macro and... switched right back to emacs. (and then proceeded to modify me emacs config so it approximated many sublime text features)

I used to be a heavy Sublime Text power user a couple years ago. I found out at some point that while Sublime does market itself as supporting macros, many commands were one of these four

- extremely basic (ie, move left or right)

- poorly thought out

- Straight up not implemented as a recordable macro command

- Buggy

I've customized my setup to the point where I don't just want emacs keybindings, I want my emacs keybindings. Because those are the ones that are in my fingertips.
