Emacs' traditions precede GUI/mouse/color support. Everyone's taste differs. 
It's not designed to be 'optimal' for some imagined target audience other than 
the taste of the developer(s).

Look at it as a 'toolkit' allowing you to config/code your own editor. If that 
seems burdensome or too difficult then maybe another editor more in tune with 
the current mainstream zeitgeist would suit you better,

No comment on the 'kids & girls'.
