    Yes, the arrow keys (which the user already knows how to operate) are
    supported, so why waste time on learning the user something in the
    tutorial which he will - at best - just find obscure, and - at worst -
    turn him off from learning emacs at all.

The Emacs cursor motion keys are essential to efficient editing.
People who use the arrow keys will never get good at it.
