As far as the Emacs keybindings are concerned I got used to many of them years before I started to use Emacs proper (I didn't before I found Lucid Emacs). I used to work on some bizarre systems where I survived by carrying my own much hacked version of microemacs around, porting it along the way. When I (much later) started to use Unix (only ten years ago) I quite quickly came in touch with Emacs bindings again -- after my initial exposure to csh I thought "there must be something better than this!" and immediately tried out all shells I could get my hands on. And soon I found emacs bindings again. - Tor
