was part of the point i wanted to make. having remappable keys, a high
degree of configurability doesn't solve much: most users typically don't
take the time to explore configuration parameters, focusing on getting the
job done. so, especially in the music field, I feel a good default, and an
interface with a character is a must. If it's configurable, it's even
better.
just wanted to pass the message that making an app fully configurable
shouldn't give an excuse to the programmer to think about the default
interface.
/vim and emacs are 2 bad examples. they either created or adhered to
ui standards but are foreign to each other and the pc world/
