Well, we can do many things that can make (most) users easy.  For
example:

* Turn on cua-mode by default
* Add a "redo" command
* Change the terminology of “kill” to “cut”, and “yank” to “paste”
* Switch the terminology of “window” and “frame”
* Change the terminology of “car” to “first”, and “cdr” to “rest”
...

But we can't, since many of them will break existing users'
configuration.  Although eww doesn't have this problem, I think we
should think twice before "making things easy for users".
