At the risk of starting it up again, there was a raging debate on this
subject a week or two ago. If you have no problem with the "use" clause,
you are in good company. But as an anit-user myself, I think you should
probably at least hear the arguments on both sides. For that reason I
suggest you try to dig up that thread on deja.com next time you get a
couple of spare hours.

The NT version of emacs is quite usable as an editor by just usnig the
arrow keys, the mouse, and the menus. I'd suggest using it like that for
starters. You can learn what else is available incrementally. That's how
I learned it.
