What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I think Vim bindings are dumb and get in the way. I will never understand the appeal of modal editing. Emacs was always the superior program since it was released by Richard Stallman in 1985.

Easily agreed.

That being said I can't go back from my meow modal keybindings

Angry vim noises.

I prefer Microsoft/Apple/IBM style key bindings (Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+V to paste, etc). Text editors don't need to have a completely different set of key bindings from everything else.
