Some of this is a keyboard issue: I use a "Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite
2" for my Unix machine (really, a glorified terminal disguised as a
Macintosh) and I'm quite happy with it.  Escape and control in the
right places, a small form factor, etc.  On my plan9 terminal, I use
the "real" HHKB; it gets the job done, but is no longer generally
available.
