Wordstar is the reason I prefer emacs to vi.  Doing ctrl+some letter(s) |
meta+
some letter(s) makes more sense to my hands and my brain than 
"colon+some letter meaning something+[optional slash + etc | $ ]" 

Funny how our original interactions with the UI of a computer or
application
color all that come after.  Part of the reason I stick to certain apps
now 
on the Mac and PC has to do with the divergence of UI elements.  My 
favorite thing about PuTTY, for example, is that middle-click paste "just 
works" in the Windows UI.
