I agree.

Maybe. But be aware that "switchers" using CTRL as command key, will 
keep using CTRL+curser for word-jumping everywhere. That'll work nicely 
until they meet an app using cursor keys in combination with the command 
key. Then their word-jumping won't work all of a sudden unless they 
know that in this case they should use CMD (=ALT) + cursor instead... 
Inconsistent.
