I don't tend to use the arrow keys (too lazy to move my hand that much when
typing) but the one thing I do find annoying is that it doesn't have
multi-level undo.  This can be useful when editing config files since you
can write it out, suspend the editor, see if it worked, then fg and undo it
all if it didn't.  No need copy to a .OLD file etc.
