I think you are missing the point.  you may find Emacs (and UNIX) to
be odd, and you consistently parade this around as a reason not to
even make an honest attempt at understanding how to use it (them).  if
the oddness still eclipses usefulness once you've made a proper
attempt at understanding a tool, then the oddness is a problem.  Emacs
(and UNIX) don't exhibit these characteristics for a great number of
people.
