Windows as tabs by default would almost certainly improve familiarity by
default. The problem with moving windows to tabs is that you need to treat
ephemeral buffers differently - you don’t want completions or help hidden on
another tab. If anyone is willing to cross the Rubicon, the various gui vim
clients do a good job with this kind of tabs-and-windows.
On the other hand, I’ve showed emacs to a very large number of new college
students over the years, both programmers and non. The keybindings are
confusing to many people. People who accidentally split-window are very
confused. Nobody was ever confused by the location of the modeline, and it’s
normal for common apps like web browsers to have a “Status Bar” down there.
