In the basics, sure. But I wouldn't still be using Emacs if it only 
provided basics.

We pride ourselves on being more than just an editor. But the more 
features a program provides, the more important it is to have a logical 
common structure and similar underlying principles under all those 
features. Or how else is a person supposed to remember how to use all of 
them?

Anyway, you seem to be agreeing with me, but this discussion started 
from Ergus giving an example of one such inconsistency. And I have yet 
to see you state a solid opinion about it in particular.
