Young have more and more difficulties in concentrating and spending
time in reading instructions.

The majority does not customize anything. If the software lacks
expected features (if not turned on by default), they move on to some
other program. Many prefer nano(1) over Emacs, because it displays
command help at the bottim -- no need to memorize anything.

The customizations possibilities are only for the very few, because it
requires certain amount of stamina; to understand by trial and error;
to learn, which possibly spans over long perid of time.

Today's generation is hard to convince to spend that time.
