I always wonder how those "dark mode" or "change menu" requestors would react to the interfaces of airplanes or helicopters. People want complex and powerful tools to look like a car with an automatic gear or even a bicycle. Yes, the learning curve to fly is steeper than the learning curve to drive. As is the learning curve to drive with stick gear instead of automatic. But you do not need to learn all the intracies of emacs to use it effectively. My wife (non IT) is quite capable of using Aquamacs on a Mac to do her editing. And using org-mode. She switched to Aquamacs after living twice through the harsh experience of Apple killing various programs and leaving her with proprietary document formats she needed to somehow convert/recover to the next "cool" word processor. I got into contact with emacs (actually zmacs) on Lisp machines long ago. And it had some very nice features which I still miss in the classic emacs. But they vanished due to "worse is better" as did the wonderful space cadet keyboard.
