I've always thought that Marus Ranum's comment[1] on X applied equally well
to Emacs:  "If the designers of [Emacs] built cars, there would be no
fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which
followed the same principles---but you'd be able to shift gears with
your car stereo.  Useful feature, that."

Of course, he was being snarky, but some people (me!) *want* to be able
to change gears with the stereo.
