Holding down the control or meta key all the time. Call me ancient,
but I *like* "moded" editors such as Teco or Vi that let me use
un-shifted un-modified keys for most editing operations (including
entering and exiting "insert mode").

Yes, I know about Vi mode, and the like. The problem is that only
the basic editor respects those bindings, and once you try to use
anything *else* (any of the neato things you can load into Emacs,
a large part of the attraction to me in the first place), you're
suddenly back into control-meta-shift-hyper-bucky-bucky land...  :-{
