I don't know what world you work in, but I find my windows keys to be quite
usefull. For instance, in emacs, windows+left==alt+b, windows+right=alt+f,
etc. Now, if only they had proper super and hyper icons on the keys rather
than that silly windows logo.
Emacs, it isn't just an editor, it is a religion (alt.religion.emacs).
