Emacs has pull-down menus, for the most common operations. 

It also has a very easily accessed complete list of the key bindings.

Yes, there is a lot to learn to use Emacs well; I've been using it for
15 years, and I'm still learning.

Same goes for Ada, and for any powerful, complex, extremely useful
system.

Ok. You'll be less productive than me, so I'll survive better in the
market place :).
