That seems to be exactly what they are doing, from reading their release notes. So screw all of you X users, mmmkay?
Not a dumb default for me, since I didn't know that ctrl-a was a binding for start of the line in emacs etc! ;-)
Do you never use any of the shortcuts (^U, ^K, ^Y, ^T, ^A, ^E) in bash et al? Yikes.
I went for some time without knowing about these. Then I learnt emacs and, of course, before long I would accidentally type the emacs key for something in a completely different app and find it worked! The biggest surprise for me in that respect was FrameMaker (at work).
