Emacs for the rest of us: ErgoEmacs

I truly want the programmability of emacs without the weird interface. I tried to use the former to implement the latter, but it's a ton of work and it seems to break all the time.

Spend some time seriously getting used to the "weird interface" (I mean: really work at it. Throw out the arrow keys, remap control, and stop using other editors cold turkey) and I suspect you'll change your mind.

What about the emacs interface is weird to you? Is it just the unfamiliar keybindings, or is there some overarching paradigm of emacs' that just rubs you the wrong way?
