If we were to imagine that these features exist, I suggest that the
resulting Emacs environment would not be significantly more accesible to
the random MS Word operator than is the current environment.
In fact, I think we'd push it into the Uncanny Valley; increasing
frustration because, having made the surface look somewhat like they
expect, we have left the bones in the "alien" configuration they don't
understand. In basic Emacs, at least they know they're not in Kansas.
Anyway, since I'm not anteing code, I figure that's my 2cents. Go you. :)
