If they had the same expectations, yes. But they are often
incompatibles. In such a case, new users expectations should take
precedence, simply because :
 - new users might give up because they don't realize that what they
   don't like is only a default setting, not inherent to the emacs
   program itself
 - old user know how to change a simple setting in 30 seconds
