"I think the reason programmers love to tinker with their vim or emacs configs is because it's simply satisfying."
I spent a ton (no, really a metric ton) of time tweaking my vim and emacs configs, and have thousands of lines of code in each, but I haven't touched either in years, and I'm pretty happy with that.
Yes, tweaking editor configs is fun, but I have other interests too, and those other interests have taken priority for a long time now.
Incidentally, I consider all that time tweaking my configs very well spent -- not because it was fun, but because my editors are enormously useful to me now, and I wouldn't dream of ever going back to more primitive editor.
