Bleah!

My own personal .emacs file has 4 or five lines adding to auto-mode-alist 
(depending on the machine)

and batches of keyboard-macros and command lines that are useful to me.

If you're going to castrate your horse, ride a mule!

vc-mode, zone-mode, all these things are too useful to me,and on a
modern machine the load is negligible.

And if I'm in single user mode it's not such a hardship to  use vi for
a few minutes.
