I am neither a beginner nor a "dumb user" (which do not exist)
but I will not touch Emacs with a ten foot pole.
As far as short cuts and scripts are concerned I have the in 
TeXShop. Emacs is even intimidating to the intermediate
developer. Do not get me wrong, it is very powerful and
extendable. 

Emacs is just for powerusers.

regards
	Keith.

(Which you can waste in GNU Emacs as well, since it has hierarchic menus, even when running as a non-windowing programme, and it also has a tool-bar.)
