I started (almost two decades ago...) with a vanilla Emacs. (There was
nothing like "Prelude" back then, I guess. Also, I had no internet
access (at home) until, like, ten years later...)
Also, being a student, I had much free time then. I read most of the
Emacs manual. That helped _a lot_.
BTW, Emacs absolutely rocks for copyediting (which I also happen to do),
since you can define lots of little commands to ease the repetitive
tasks. And yes, you probably do need to learn Lisp to master Emacs.
Start with "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" by Robert
J. Chassell (evaluate the form (info "eintr")).
Best,
