Not that I'm going to attempt to talk you into liking emacs, but that
argument just strikes me as funny. It's not like emacs is overflowing
with buttons and controls like MS Word or Your Favorite IDE. You don't
even have to know that its crazy features even exist to use it. I
often fire up zile for simple text editing. It's certainly not
over-featured, but it acts exactly like emacs does for basic text
editing. One need not even know that emacs is capable of more than that.
Until you accidentally press a random key combination and you have no
idea why the editor suddenly turned into a news reader. Good luck
getting back to your precious file. It happened to me once. :-) Vi is
just as bad, though, IMHO.
