Al, I think your comments generally reflect what I am getting the
feeling of. I possibly have one other issue making emacs harder, not
only are there all those multiple key presses but any involving ctrl is
made harder by my computers' positioning of the ctrl key, shifted right
by one key because there is a FN key living in the bottom left of my
keyboards.

I'll probably experiment around more with vim and may be other vi
variants as I do feel the editor itself is more comfortable to use (yes
the mode thing is something which catches me out from time to time but I
guess over time I will just get used to the idea of the different
modes). I've heard that yasr possibly works better with vim in some cases.
