> Why is it important to prioritize beginners over experienced users? In my opinion, because experienced users know how to configure their editor while beginners don't. If "every expert" has their own tuned configuration, they really shouldn't care what the defaults are. It is (in my opinion) crazy to have options designed to make a system easier to use, which have to be searched out and turned on. If Emacs doesn't care about user counts or market share, great. Emacs users can stop posting about it, and it can quietly fade away.
