I did not want to dissuade from starting with Helm or Icicles, I just
don't know if it's a good idea. Depends on your way of learning,
probably. Icicles and Helm are quite complex and offer substitutes for
diverse tools in Emacs. Learning Emacs that way may let you miss some
basic stuff and features of vanilla Emacs.
I don't want to discourage you from starting with Helm or Icicles. If
you think it'll work for you, then just try it. If you are getting
confused, you can still put Helm or Icicles back for a later moment. In
any case, reading the manual (C-h r) is a must.
Regards,
Michael.
