It seems like a list of nice, but most are kinda opinionated non-essential tweaks
(cua-mode)
Well this will have the greybeards frothing at the mouth :)
that said, `cua-mode` is kinda terrible/half-assed b/c it implements a tiny fraction of what I think most people would consider "CUA". If you want a real CUA-mode use `ergoemacs`. Then Emacs will start to behave like every other GUI since the last mass extinction. It comes with a nice illustration of all the keybindings which leads to good discoverability of features. The only downside I saw was it had really slow launch times. Once you're comfortable with ELisp you can just rolled your own keybindings though
Is there some reason ergoemacs has never caught on?
