Of course GUI apps have had pop-downs from the File-Edit-View-... row [since forever?] so that things like Alt+F will show contextual actions. But at least in the Emacs community people get blown away when someone makes such a basic addition.

So you can do the basic things like C-h k to pull up the help for a key combination C-h f for a function C-h v for a variable C-h m for currently active modes But you can also do things like this: C-c C-h to pull up every key combination that starts with C-c Emacs has excellent discoverability out of the box thanks to this.
