I think that's a really good point.

But I wonder whether we might still include a tutorial that draws on a
trend that received much attention in the blogs and in the forums
recently, viz. the idea of "Emacs for writing prose". Summer Emacs also
mentioned "Emacs Writing Studio" which is an example for that. Maybe a
section in the tutorial for those using Emacs not for writing code, but
for writing prose would be a good idea?

@Summer Emacs: In case you feel misunderstood, you might still begin
writing a tutorial of your own and propose it for inclusion into the
Emacs Manual. It is probably better to discuss a concrete text.

Best regards,
Jürgen.
