Agreed. I starred Steve's email to print out and hang beside my
monitor at work until I start doing navigation right in XEmacs.

This is precisely why I want expert Emacs and Vim users to do demos at
TLUG meetings, because most of us (myself certainly included) still
have so much to learn about using our editors as $DEITY (I guess in
the case of Emacs, $DEITY == RMS; yuck! I'll take JWZ instead, as I am
an XEmacs user ;) intended.

Steve's content-based navigation stuff will probably save me a few
keyboards a decade. ;)

As with most flame wars between reasonable people, it mostly went away
when the participants discovered that they agreed on more than they
disagreed on. :)
