This guide should really start with <i>why</i> an absolute beginner, such as myself, would benefit from using emacs in 2024.<p>I use VS Code, Sublime Tet, Word, Powerpoint, Obsidian, Google Docs, etc. for my various text/data editing needs - what would emacs do above this collection of software?
I think the absolute beginner should never be exposed to the bare defaults, including to health hazards like the C- combos, so the guide should apply all the extensive expertise of the author to steer them to greener pastures
It would be great if emacs had a LLM co-pilot, I could have it look at my config (and tell me what I could improve). Also i could ask how to do things in emacs, it would have some knowledge of my setup, even my active modes etc, often I get stuck and not sure what key combo or even command I want (the naming of commands are a bit weird at times).
