@frank Oh, yes. Obsidian ist clearly more optimized for "getting to run fast".

If you're thinking in decades, that's not that relevant any more. 😉

And yes: Emacs doesn't support novice users that much in terms of "please do ignore almost all except ...".

Muscle memory: true. My situation got much better when I adapted hydras as personal cheatsheets. So I don't have to memorize bindings and I have an option to re-discover functionality with that.
