Atto's default key bindings match Emacs, which is about as standard as you get for non-modal editing keys in older Unix traditions.

For many, it is indeed about what they call "muscle memory". Almost impossible to change after so many years. And therefore I hope everyone would provide keybinding alternatives generally (shouldn't be that hard).
I would assert Wordstar style are equally as old.
But are mostly forgotten while emacs keybindings are still popular and found in all kinds of places you wouldn't expect, like MacOS textboxes.
Not when using joe, for example.
and isn't at all beginner friendly
Emacs is probably older than me why should we care about what they used in 80s?
I see you’re using Latin characters...
Depends, do you care about UNIX and C, as products from 1970's?
UNIX doesn't exist anymore, and C has lot of negative points (easy to create buffer overflows, integer overflows, use-after-free, and other vulnerabilities).

It's 2026, why would anyone want to use an Intel architecture?
Or ARM? It's from the 1980s! So old!
