Yes, there was a time when I took pride in that too. Then I realized how much more effectively I could use that cognitive capacity if I was applying it where it was best used rather than where my tools forced me to spend it.
- holydude 9y agoAny tool or technology requires an investment. It just depends on how much you want to spend on it. You do not need to be an emacs guru to use emacs. Just learn the basics,downloads some pkgs, use what other people already built for you. Hell I never ever wrote a line of elisp but I am able to glue things together so It does what I want. But you are right if a tool is just as good in its default configuration then it's harder to justify the investments to learn another one. On the other hand Emacs has been here for dozens of years and it still mostly works and behaves the same. )
