Enhancing Emacs' usability is a good idea. Respecting
better the needs of none-programmers could gain support
from a growing community.
At the other hand: Don't see it could be done that way
Emacs is developed usually: it can't be done by
judgement of one or two persons alone for several
reasons:
- if this person is a skilled one, it will ignore the
needs of beginners more or less
- if it's a beginner, he will not be able to overview
the functioning of the whole.
Also habits, tastes of beginners and advanced users
alike are very different: there is no way as in
programming to conclude by logic alone. It needs
systematic research, collecting habits and weighting it
etc.
This work must not be done by core-developers, as it's
a process of collecting users informations, where every
user may take part.
Suggest to create a group of interested persons, which
collect the needed data to make
proposals based on them afterwards.
