In order to help increasing the "user-friendliness" couldn't we do
something similar to what viper-mode does? I.e. provide different levels
of "Emacs-ness".
The lowest level (default?) could enable features that are common among
other editors/IDEs, e.g. CUA. Increasing levels could "unlock" more and
more "Emacs-ness" up to the point of where you get what everybody would
consider the "true" Emacs in all its glory.
I believe that Cream, a Vim clone with a self-proclaimed "modern
configuration" (http://cream.sourceforge.net/home.html), does something
similar.
Imho, this could help ease new users into the Emacs world, without
alienating the existing longtime users.
