I can't stand the default Emacs keybindings.  It is too easy to miss C-
f/C-b/C-n/C-p and press a totally different key.  For this reason I
choose to use the arrow keys.

I have redefined C-f and C-d to find-file because it is used so much.
This proved to be a pain because nearly every major mode needed C-f/C-
d to be rebound.

Isn't the purpose of Emacs to eliminate arguments over keybindings?
Every Emacs user can customise their bindings to their own personal
preferences.
