I think that an experienced unix person will fully understand the
newbie's predicament, and that it's a given to them that `Emacs` and
`vi` will be available.  They will quickly see that when `dselect` is

I don't think `ae` is crippling anything.  It is enabling.  We all
have to start someplace, you know.  Rome wasn't built in a day.
