What does C-s do in Emacs? What do most novice users expect C-s to

from proprietary desktop operating systems should face when trying
to edit a simple cookie recipe for themselves should have to face.
Wouldn't you still have recognized the elisp? ;-)
I would have been much more comfortable with Emacs as the basis for
gedit. Emacs was made to be customize-able, but somehow it still failed
to form the basis for gedit. Is not that a bit unfortunate? (Maybe not,
but what about the future of Emacs then?)
