I do not doubt it.  They just can't understand such issues however.
It's not their faults.  They are geeks, just like me and - I think -
you.  If we were them, we couldn't do any better.

Newbies flock to other editors because newbies find such editors
easier to use.  Geeks know such editors just seem easier, or are
easier just in the short run, and shrug their shoulders.

I don't doubt it.  However, as many things Emacs, its interface seems
foreign.  I couldn't find a way to compare directories and have a
summary of changed files, from which navigate to such files.  If
someone could post a video about how to accomplish such a task with
Emacs...
