Yes, certainly. But please try to describe each annoyance, er, use-case in enough detail, because most probably people here (myself included) will not be familiar with many other editors.

How do you mean ``impossible''? what happens if you try inserting a newline after going to the beginning of the buffer (with the equivalent of "M-<" or C-Home)? > It's also a major pain to edit XML in a bidi editor.

Again, an explicit list of main problems would be useful (although I deliberately decided not to handle bidirectional editing for meta documents yet, so this specific class of problems is still a long way from being dealt with).
