Both the *default settings* for emacs UI and the lack of ready-to-use
packages are problems for wider emacs adoption.
The first one could be easily adressed by convincing the core team of
the need.
The second one mainly needs an officially supported package management
system built into emacs, and packages in it would have to be as
orthogonal as possible in terms of functionnality, so that it is clear
to the user that he needs package X to achieve task Y.
EmacsWiki already is a kind of informal emacs CPAN, without the
packaging.
