Two things here:

1) I was advising nothing of the sort, which should have been quite
clear from the text you quoted. I was only giving an option
conditioned on whether the poster wants to use Emacs or not. There is
no text in my message on whether that's advisable or not. There's a
good reason for that, which is...

2) The poster never claimed to be a beginner with programming in
general, just with Ada. You could be right when you assume the former,
but that information was not presented for our consideration.
