> but "read about the inner workings of an editor before you use it" is horrible UX. You can start using it without reading, but the UX does not follow common patterns like found in Notepad or VSCode. It is its own thing and reading the tutorial, Mickey's book, or the official manual is way faster than fumbling around. Even my bluetooth speakers came with a manual. |

I know. Emacs is my daily driver.

Hard disagree. It may be more efficient in terms of total time spent, but you can learn 5 commands and start using emacs immediately.
Compared to spending multiple hours reading a book or, worse, the manual, I know which one I'd choose.
