Re: Emacs User Friendliness Question/Hope

[Christoph]

In order to help increasing the "user-friendliness" couldn't we do 
something similar to what viper-mode does? I.e. provide different levels 
of "Emacs-ness".

The lowest level (default?) could enable features that are common among 
other editors/IDEs, e.g. CUA. Increasing levels could "unlock" more and 
more "Emacs-ness" up to the point of where you get what everybody would 
consider the "true" Emacs in all its glory.

I believe that Cream, a Vim clone with a self-proclaimed "modern 
configuration" (http://cream.sourceforge.net/home.html), does something 
similar.

Imho, this could help ease new users into the Emacs world, without 
alienating the existing longtime users.
