A brief browse of forums and the emacs irc channel suggests that most/a
good % of people do indeed find it daunting to get emacs working under
windows. I am surprised you would disagree. What is simple to you is not
necessarily simple for complete newbies - most of whom I would guess run
Windows.
Having said that I must agree with you that patching over many of the
"must learns" at too early a stage can also leave a nOOb stranded even
further out to sea at a later date. By far the most important thing to
instill in any emacs apprentice is to learn how to use the built in
help.
