That is not always the case. I tried out vi and emacs when I started
as a Linux newbie and did not like vi. I could not immediately
understand it's logic. I could however immediately start
using emacs. It has an easy and very good tutorial for newbies and
after 5 years I am still learning and enjoying new features.
