Well, Emacs isn't designed for a common user, but for a power user. From my experience, first time using Emacs was really frustrated.

In contrary, VSCode, Atom, Sublime Text etc. were usable right from the start. But these IDEs didn't stick for me. Easy come, easy go, I guess.

Emacs and Vim, although took a lot of effort to configure them into usable text editors/IDEs, stick with me 'til these days and I'm continuing to use them in the future. The power of configurations are astounding and I can shape them into whatever I want.

That's not different from a piano. Musical instruments are not designed for "common users" or "beginners". The ones that are, are not good for playing good music.
