I tried Emacs and gave up on it because it required the use of ^S and
^Q, which on the hardware I was using were reserved for flow control.
The "help" Emacs offered was "get different hardware". I decided I
wanted nothing to do with software that was so arrogant it refused to
conform to what was at the time the dominant method of flow control.

Also, I have a certain amount of distaste for anything associated with
Richard Stallman.
