That corresponds to my experience. The main sources of trouble, AFAICT are:
- window management:
- how to get rid of a window (e.g. when *Help* introduced a split).
- how to get back to a buffer that was somehow buried.
- keybindings like C-a, C-x, C-c, C-v
- naming (things like windows, frames, kill, yank).
