Not necessarily.  Which users?  Sometimes newbies
to Emacs are looking for what they're used to in
some other editor, and not seeing that in Emacs
they think "missing feature".

And answers on emacs.SE often set newbies straight
in this regard, saying "this is how you use Emacs
to do what you want".

The first response by us shouldn't be a knee-jerk
reaction to add what someone says is missing.  We
should first check what people who use Emacs do,
i.e., see if what seems to be missing really
represents a problem to be fixed.
