I guess I agree, but it seems to be a truism. Nobody wants to make
software intentionally unusable, it's hard to imagine that people would
still be using Emacs after all this time if that were the case.
The question I see is should it be "Don't make me think" or "Don't make
me learn". I get the first one, but you limit yourself to what you
already know, if you want everything to already be familiar.
