Those against the idea say the main problem with CUA mode is it hijacks C-c
and C-x which are the standard bindings in current Emacs and they are
hardwired in lots of places.
Let's say the newbie user who wants to copy with C-c/C-x/C-v don't want
to use the bindings C-w and C-y.
Is it technically possible to implement a mode which binds copy to C-c,
cut to C-x, but before that it rebinds all C-x bindings to C-w and
C-c bindings to C-y? It should do it dynamically, of course, so when a
new buffer is opened with new bindings or a new minor mode is activated
it should change the bindings on the fly.
This way the newbie could also have a standard and consistent set of
bindings, only the prefix keys would be different in newbie mode and
veteran mode.
