I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.

Read the Article. Modern like what most Graphical Editors Ship.
So “some other bastard system” it is, then.
That’s a shame; a GNU project should be consistently GNU-like (i.e. adopt Emacs key bindings).
I like all editors to have as many diverse sets of keybindings as possible. Sadly most apps don’t, which is a main reason why I never bothered to properly learn emacs bindings, as I wouldn’t be able to use them anywhere else.

There are now 15 standards
I got that reference!
No, there is and always has been just the one standard text editor.
Magnetized needle + steady hand?
If Emacs keybindings are good enough to be the system default for Mac users, they should be good enough for anybody.
Given that Mac keybindings for “common special functions” (Open/Save/Cut/Copy/Paste/Find/etc.) use Command instead of Ctrl, leaving Ctrl effectively unused unless in combination with Command, this argument doesn’t hold much water.
Sure, some Emacs fan at Apple decided to add Emacs shortcuts to Cocoa controls, but that was a pretty arbitrary decision since people coming from Mac OS 9 didn’t use the Ctrl key, well, ever.

Every text field in MacOs supports Emacs keybindings, like Ctrl-a to go to beginning, ctrl-k to delete to end of line, etc
