I think it's pretentious to think that we can influence people's habits
so easily.

I think the best option to satisfy both camps is to end the tutorial with
a section about "how to use Emacs more efficiently" where we describe key
bindings for those operations that can easily be accomplished with arrow
keys, mice, menu-bars, scroll-bars, you name it.
