When I think of good ux I think of something that is easy to pick up on first use and that gradually guides you to mastering its more advanced features. Emacs for me has one of the steepest learning curves in any software I’ve ever tried to use. (Maybe even anything in general). There seems to be be a cult culture around editors such as vim and emacs that I can only attribute to leftover elitism from the early ages of computer science. I don’t see why people who are using or building these software wouldn’t have spent some time improving the onboarding of new users all the years these software has been around.
