do i mangle my hand when using emacs?

no. what is wrong with you?

rebind your keys.

lowkey sick of this constant bullshit we emacs users get. i would need all my fingers and toes in order to count all the vacuous insults that pass for legitimate discussion topics about emacs.

people who have never learned any lisp dunking on elisp
people in general discussing emacs without having ever put any effort into evaluating it

actually, this is a species of a particular laziness: people instructing others on topics they have not actually learned.
