This "efficiency" argument comes up over and over again and I think
that should not be priority 1 here. I am all for doing things in as
efficient manner as possible (one thing Emacs is very good at) but we
should not risk scaring users by introducing unfamiliar things at the
early stages. Let efficiency come later.

If I were to introduce someone for Emacs, say by creating a small
.emacs file for them to ease things up, I would have added `cua-mode'
to that file, even though I don't use it myself (I would like to have
known about it when I first started). If this user likes Emacs I am
sure he/she will sooner or later switch to whatever is most efficient
for him/her.

So:

1. Make it easy for a beginner to find information and learn how to use Emacs.
2. Hint on how to do things more "efficient" (there are many opinions
on what is most efficient).
