emacs style chording is bad for your wrists. i have no information to back this up

The defaults are unusable on a normal keyboard, I only use it because i have ctrl and alt on the home row.

I guess instead of hitting ctrl and alt with your pinky you could pick up your hand and hit them with your index finger, but who does that?
