It often was back in the days of Multics Emacs (30 years ago). It was 
pretty common for non-programmers to learn it so they could customize 
their editor. Although often they just learned enough to set a few 
customization variables, not write complex extensions; that's the kind 
of thing that's now automated with M-x customize.
