    I like how you formulate the difference between ease of learn and ease of 
use.

Making Emacs easier to learn is an improvement, in general.
But what use is there in having a different Emacs configuration
which is easier to learn, if it is not the recommended mode of use?

That seems like telling people a shortcut leading to somewhere other
than their destination.
