The amount of time it takes to setup tune customize and debug emacs is no longer justifiable

  Some people like to paint ducks or build model airplanes. Some relax by plopping down in front of their PlayStation or TV for a few hours. Others like to tweak their editor. Is that so wrong?

    Not at all. Emacs works as a hobby but unfortunately lost its practicality

      You have any idea how long does it take to fine-tune a piano? How difficult and expensive is to adjust a Formula 1 bolid for a specific track? How long does it take to train a service dog? Just because it takes time and effort to master and fine-tune a tool, required process does not render the tool impractical. Au contraire - it makes that tool the best suited for the task.
