The great thing about Emacs is that if your keyboard doesn't use a vanilla US layout, many of the command sequences are physically impossible to execute. It also uses raw scancodes or some such bullshit technique so that the keys you actually have to press are not the keys it says you should press. Everybody else fixed their software fifteen years ago, but since Der Stallmann is such a useless fucking cunt Emacs is, and will always be, stuck in the stoneage.
