Well I have absolutely no idea what worg is.

NGL, Worg is terrible at explaining what it does and what it is for. And this sentiment is coming from someone who uses Org mode daily and has contributed to Worg.

Announcing Casual Ediff, with enhancements to support viewing changes to a version-controlled file and to resolve merge conflicts from Emacs.

It's not about being arcane, it's about the lack of discoverability. Emacs and vi don't have (by default) affordances like a menu that enables a user to discover and learn the interface at their own pace. The learning curve is much smoother and allows for casual uses without having to pull a book each time.

FWIW, I started a project last year to build Transient menus for major Emacs modes called “Casual” to address discoverability. Interested readers can find more info about it here: https://kickingvegas.github.io/casual/

Using well thought out interfaces is a joy wherever we find them.

Something in your comment made me remember a DOS based file "explorer". Screen split down the middle with a folder-tree and file list on both sides. I remember hardly ever turning on the computer without starting that for one task or another. That was some serious UI pleasure, at least for the time. Ha, found it:

Ah, the nostalgia!

Nostalgia no more! Midnight Commander/4DOS style file management can be achieved with Emacs Dired today and then some.

For your consideration, I built a keyboard-driven menu interface for Dired called Casual to help with discovery. https://kickingvegas.github.io/casual/Dired.html
