You see, I tend to read even the assembly instructions of Ikea furniture
and the user manual of a dryer.
More frustrating than having to read a well-thought-out manual is
* not being able to accomplish something
* not having any manual
For example, I never "got" Eclipse despite having to use it for two
years.

No, I just worked through the tutorial. It was fascinating and only took
a couple of hours IIRC. That's the way learned almost everything
(including Python).

I'm not making you use emacs, you know.
