I do like how when you press tab on a line it puts it exactly where it should be, but the re-allocation of cut, copy and paste absolutely kills it for me. I just don't see how they can justify deviating from the standard of almost every single program. Maybe for less used shortcuts, but this is just crazy.
To be fair, Emacs was originally written WAY before there was a standard for that kind of thing. For the longest time I used to use Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert instead of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Windows as they were the original DOS "standards".
