Yes, absolutely, if someone is willing and able to do that in
a good way.

But even better IMO would be to find out what runs
counter-intuitive to the majority of those people, what it is
they struggle with. So we can fix that. And this is actually
the same for programmers.

So we treat the majority good by handing them Emacs as they
expect it.

And we treat the minority good by still offering the
configuration/extension possibility.

Because then we have the majority _and_ the minority!
