I don't know if I'm the best example, but I think I only really use 1-2 of
beancount-mode's features: tab-completion of account names, and sometimes
auto-alignment of postings (sometimes I don't bother to align).

So, if you just want to get where I am, follow any emacs tutorial (that's
the hard part) and then learn that pressing tab completes account names.

Are there any features I'm missing that would speed things up?

(I also sometimes edit beancount files with other editors without beancount
support and it's fine. Personally I wouldn't worry about it too much. But
I'm happy to be contradicted if others on the list are able to use
beancount-mode to be especially productive.)
