I wish software companies would stop calling these things "intuitive".
Strictly speaking, that means any _human_ would find them simple to
understand. My wife, who is a social worker, does _not_ find GPS
"intuitive"!
What they really mean is "familiar to anyone who has used similar
products". In this case, that means Borland C++ IDE, MS Visual Studio,
ObjectAda IDE, etc. It does _not_ mean Emacs, so _I_ find it
_unfamiliar_ and _frustrating_!
Ooh, that felt good :).
