Emacs _is_ one of the old great ones. You are trying to make Gandalf
more popular by plucking his nose hairs.
It's not a good analogy. People can like Gandalf as a character
without having to learn lots of incantations.
Learning Emacs is never going to be easy. But we might be able
to change Emacs so that learning it is a little less hard,
and that would be a substantial improvement.
