Today:

file.html already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? [yYnN]:

On most command line tools and bash scripts the default action is pointed out with a capital letter. To me it would make more sense if only one letter was capital (and no need to point out that you can use uppercase and lowecase letters for the input):

file.html already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? [y/N]:

or possibly even nicer

file.html already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y/N:

Meaning 'enter', 'n' and 'N' does not overwrite the file and 'y' and 'Y' would overwrite it.

Just taking notes of what I've been thinking about, big and small, while using EM for the last couple of months. Hope to be able to contribute some code soon.
