Ah, but you forget to provide a reason to support your claim unlike me, who presented a basic use case which in fact refutes your claim (in the last comment).

> Emacs is obviously and inarguably not immediately intuitive.

"obviously" : I find it anything but obvious. "inarguably": Really? So it can't even be argued? Well, I don't know what to say to that.

What is immediately intuitive about anything a programmer does on their machine? I assume you have used a Unix shell, right? Was there anything immediately intuitive about that? You've probably done some programming, so was there anything immediately intuitive about your programming language?

How so? Unlike vim, you can just type stuff in and it works.
