Oh, I always come to HN and hold my breathe not to see comments like this...

Do you think that someone who has never touched computer except for Facebook, MS Office and emailing should know Lisp and UNIX environment?

"Terrible, clumsy, complicated and ugly" are exactly the kind of adjectives that spring to my mind when thinking of git, emacs and (to a lesser degree) TeX.

Now try to teach someone that pastes images into Word to send them as attachment into emails to use git + emacs + TeX/docbook/perldoc/HTML/plain text.

Well sure. But unlike You, bureaucrats are not computer scientists.
