I agree, but I'm saying you have to learn Emacs with a manual and then it's easy. You can't (easily) do it by exploring. The user interface is not discoverable or familiar to new users, which is what people usually mean by "easy to learn." This is the big barrier all effective Emacs users have faced and surmounted by digging into documentation, books, tutorials, etc. Ted
