What if having a compatibility-mode that can be activated by something like:
```elisp
(classic-keybindings-mode 1)
```
and refine the default keybindings to be more consistent/mnemonic? People who 
miss the old keybindings will be elisp-proficient; Adding 1 s-exp to the init 
file won’t be a barrier.
For the refined keybindings, Spacemacs can provide a good starting point.

I would like a semi-AI that suggests interactive functions based on key presses 
or actions the user performs... `You can use C-e (goto-end-line) to perform 12 
keystokes you performed.'
Saying about discoverability, I would like a context-sensitive right-click 
mouse menu, something like Microsoft Office. Most newcomers are familiar with 
finding functionality with the mouse; and it isn’t intuitive to find new 
keybindings/functions that Emacs provide to boost productivity. (Actually, 
that’s one of my problems; how should I find new functions...?)
