Also, Macros were exquisite. Go in Macro mode, and those 40 function-key based key strokes were entered by simply hitting the function key. It would know NOT to to the command.

Also, special characters did NOT requite a character map or memorization of alt-codes most of the time. If you want to make an "ñ", just hit cntl-w, "n", and "~", and it combines them for you. No memorization needed. A "ç" is simply "c" and ",". Elegant.
