30 years of Emacs and 'I still don't understand Dired': the discoverability problem, in one thread (karthinks.com)

The author, who also wrote the popular gptel package, frames Emacs as having a discoverability problem he's chipping at 'one demo at a time.' The built-ins are genuinely useful and genuinely buried.
