When I decided to learn Lisp a few years ago, I realized that I had to learn Emacs (something I'd wanted to do for a while anyways). I ended up messing around with Emacs for a few months, and never did learn Lisp. And that perfectly sums up, for me, the problem with Emacs. It's a great editor, and it's loads of fun to mess around with it and learn it. But at the end of the day, when I actually want to get stuff done, it tends to get in the way more than it helps, so I always end up going for another editor.
