And my point is that you have plenty of other training in those editors you are ignoring. Not out of malice, but because it is second nature. You have done a ton of training on them already.

I know it will sound contrived, but when I sit at a coworker's desk using sublime, I'm literally lost on how to navigate. I don't even know how to get the editor to list all open buffers. IDEA? I mean, I know it has the functions, but it is a search every time I have to try them. (Again at someone else's computer.)

I could think it was just my emacs knowledge not working, but I see the same hiccups from folks moving from each. So it isn't just me.

Are there affordances that are common? Yeah, but many have changed, and not all over long timeframes. Worse, many are different from Windows to Mac to Linux. There is a good argument for adopting what is native to where you are, but the rise of browsers has shown that to not be that important, ironically.

I do see it as a problem, if it is keeping folks from using computers. Or, if it makes folks build things that can't be used from emacs. That said, I don't see it as an insult or as a problem if you choose to use something else.

Again, for many of us, emacs is easy to use. For many of us, the documentation is written in a way to accelerate proficiency. I would love more documentation or affordances to help. So not stonewalling, but I caution against the attitude that what is there is bad.

And I get it, I think. I have recently tried to plunge into Blender and Gimp. Holy crap do I feel punished for mistakes there all too easily. :(
