+# Re-imagining the Emacs User Experience with Casual Suite

+
+To date, the predominant interaction model for Emacs has been to use keybindings or the mini-buffer prompt to issue commands. These commands are drawn from a vast ecosystem of packages (both core and third party) designed to extend Emacs. When these commands are used in aggregate, the aforementioned interaction model places a high cognitive load on the user. It also sets a very steep learning curve for Emacs.
+
+The inclusion of the Transient model package in Emacs facilitates a different interaction model using keyboard-driven menu interfaces. Menu interfaces excel at discovery and recognition, neither of which are well supported with keybindings and a prompt. Menu interfaces also can be made contextual to allow the user to focus on a task at hand.
+
+Casual Suite is a personal effort to re-imagine the Emacs user experience by using keyboard-driven Transient menus as its primary interaction model.
+
+This talk describes Casual Suite, detailing its implementation and operation.
+
