Re: [SLUG] Is emacs really for newbies??????????

[GrAnT GaLbRaiTh & TrAcEy CrEmMiNg]

I'm also what this list would probably classify as a 'newbie'. I have a basic
understanding of the command line and tend to stick to the kde GUI interface. I
also use the kde2 alphas without too much trouble. 
I can use the command line to
complete most tasks with a good tutorial and the reason I can is because of the
support I recieved in the beginning when asking 'sad' questions like this
one. 
The intellectual snobbery of some, destroys the enjoyment that 'newbies'
and GUI users get from making the switch to the freedom, online community and
sharing that Linux brings. I am free from M$ because of lists like these and you
should be ashamed of yourself.
