Then you should change your source. The 22.x series is rather old (22.3
was released in 2008 and is a bug fix release of 22.1 released in 2007)
and was before the last large user interface rearrangements.
Emacs 23.1 was released in 2009, the current version is 23.3.

Interesting. So if you had not noticed the tutorial, you might have
tried it for longer.
What if Notepad++ came with a tutorial explaining most of its keystrokes
and concepts? Would that have given Emacs a better chance?

Editors are all doing the same job, like cars. Mention one, in
particular disliking one, and you have a discussion.
