I agree with step 1 -- learning vi[m] is damn useful since it's almost always available. The rest of the one-pager seems to me like "here's how to understand other stuff about emacs that makes no sense to the uninitiated" -- e.g. "M" in keyboard shortcuts refers to alt or the Apple command key. In terms of getting stuff done, the one-pager barely gets you to the point you'd be at with no instruction at all using Notepad on Windows 3.1. [sarcasm] Oh look, there's a calculator! I can launch a handy command-line tool called the command prompt. I can create multiple views side-by-side. Wow. [/sarcasm] As an aside, has someone tried building an editor which leverages the GUI familiarity many of us have ingrained thanks to 30 years of UI progress which still gives you, say, instant access to lisp or python automation which is seamlessly bound to the editor? That would rock.
