Well, a number of newcomers nowadays are starting out by using
prebuilt configs of some description, e.g.
https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude
or
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs
which those newcomers feel helps them getting started with
Emacs. i've seen several arguments both for and against such
things; personally, i think it's great that members of the Emacs
community are trying to help ease some newcomers' transition to
Emacs. Some people work best by starting out in a relatively
familiar environment from which they can gradually move away,
rather than having to learn a whole lot of new behaviours
simultaneously.

:-) i think i first started using Emacs around some version 20
release, though it's only in the last several years that i've been
making increasingly heavy use of it. Still, yes, a lot of cruft
built up until i started using org-babel to organise my config;
that, together with being able to use package.el to manage the
installation and update of almost all of the many extensions i
use, has meant that there are increasingly fewer bits of cruft for
me to manage. :-)
