My experience resembles Nick's.  The menus save me lots of time.  I'm
not sure what DAMHIKT means, but there is no doubt that mileage changes
with age.

The term "key chord" puzzled me for a long time, until a colleague
pointed out that it is possible to "play" a computer running Emacs, just
like playing a piano.  I was stunned!

All the best,
Tom
