Ok I was speaking in-a-manner-of-speaking -- in two ways
All means most
Cua means the most common cua-keys — C-x C-c C-v
of which the first two specially are so deeply embedded into emacs as prefixes
for 100s of other functions that its hard to change without significant upheaval

Yeah…
Just playing around with magit
It the tool of choice in emacs world as a git client
And in all probability the best git client around

So yes emacs is unbeatable and emacs is obsolete
And that’s what makes it so annoying — impossible to find a replacement
