i didn't mean dantes inferno but the operating system named after it :P
some people redo the keybinds completely, i find them rather useable. elisp might be a matter of taste, but certainly better than vimscript. most things can be configured with the built-in customize mode.
what i _really_ was talking about, to come back to inferno-the-os, is that it's a relatively slim, portable execution environment. the abstractions are different, but it's similar in spirit.
