When you start emacs, it advises you to start the builtin tutorial. That's how I learned it in the 1980's and didn't experience any learning curve. Nowadays, emacs has a GUI that makes you productive immediately without any keyboard commands. I have seen complete newbies adopt emacs without any kind of duress or hardship. Marko
