I've never once had issues with Emacs like you describe, and I've been using it for about 25y.
I think the key is that I don't use any deeply intrusive packages. No Spacemacs, no Evil; hell, I won't even touch EDE.
Still, my personal config is _packed_ with tweaks and custom packages, and I've maintained it continuously all this time.
- danShumway 6y ago> I think the key is that I don't use any deeply intrusive packages Sure, but if you're not interested in using deeply intrusive packages or addons, then why does the sandboxing and forced separation between addons matter? I can keep a clean Firefox config if I don't install addons that do anything too interesting, but if I don't install addons that do anything too interesting then I'm also not really going to be affected very much by the move from XUL to webExtensions. I think the core of the debate is about the intrusive packages, not the surface-level ones. The only reason for Emacs to embrace the more dangerous kind of "everything is editable" levels of customization that people are advocating for within Firefox is so that we can implement stuff like Evil, EXWM, sidebar previews, embedded GTK apps, etc... Those are the power-user selling points of Emacs that keep me hooked on the platform.
