emacs is intuitive and even if one doesnt customize it, it will still do the job but in far less time than anything in the world.
<rant> Sorry to play the devil's advocate but I think not. I used xemacs and am still trying learn it. It uses keybindings different from so many other editors that it leads confusion when you have to use emacs *and* other editors. For e.g. C-g goes to a specific line number in most other editors, whereas in xemacs it aborts the currently running command or he one being typed. I still haven't found an equivalent to <esc>:q!<enter> that is, to exit losing all changes, no questions asked. In xemacs I still have to type "yes" when emacs asks me whether I want to exit without saving. Of course, I could do M-~ and exit. There is no text copy facility: you have to cut, and paste twice. </rant> The above is marked as a rant because I know there is a lot to learn, but I felt it should not be so uphill.
