This sounds sooo much like overstated elitism. You may prefer to use C-b
and C-f and S-&, because you're so good and so l33t, this will never
change the point : beginners don't, period. Default settings must help
those people, who have not yet set their .emacs, to use and try the
software and see if they like it or not.
