Like emacs is any less cryptic? Or jed with its WordStar-like key-bindings? I
would venture that a *large* number of new Linux users are a) too young or b)
to new to computers to have ever used WS. But, those bindings (which
frequently have no semantic logic) are carved into my brain because WS used to
be "What there is."
Vi is the same. While it doesn't always make a lot of sense, the command set
is relatively simple. If you don't want to learn the more advanced aspects of
it, that's fine. But, emacs is (IMHO) a mountain of bloat requiring users to
learn a command set that is no more semantically efficient.
