+1 for emphasizing this.
We should maybe emphasize it more, particularly
when someone used to another editor asks why
Emacs doesn't have this or that key/action.
Instead, we too often, I think, start thinking
about whether Emacs should indeed add such a
command (and key).
Newbies, in particular, could do well to learn
about using keyboard macros early.
(I haven't used the tutorial in ages. Do we
introduce recording and playing back macros?)
Speaking of which, it might be good to speak
more of "recording" and "playing back" a
sequence of actions, and less of "macros" in
this context.
I think that many people are used to turning
on "recording" in various contexts - it's not
a big deal as a notion, whereas "macro" sounds
exotic and can sound complicated/intimidating.
