Right, but a common characteristic of modern editors and IDEs is that they attempt to be uncontroversial and follow the 'intuitive' keybindings because they're what people are used to from word processors.

These editors have sparked a holy war and a cult following not just because they're powerful, but because they're opinionated. They prefer efficiency and customization over familiarity.

I will freely admit that there's only only so many of those programs that I can handle in my life, but my text editor is one so frequently used that it's worth the investment.
