I'm just under half your age and I hope to be using Emacs when I'm 59 1/2! I'm also grateful to everyone who has made Emacs as great as it is.

  Same here. For me it's org-mode that made me commit to it, but I might end up using it for many other things eventually (git, coding, etc.). I'm mostly okay with code editors coming and going, but the one constant in my life has been project/task management, journalling, and personal information management in the broadest sense. I just got tired of my tools either turning to shit, being deprecated, or not quite doing what I need them to do. Org Mode has been exactly what I've been looking for, and once I started using it seriously it became the thing I didn't know I wanted. It's really comforting to me to know that I'll probably be able to use the same tool for the rest of my life, and that I can (and often already do) use it for many other things (Tramp, magit, coding in general).
