I've used Emacs for around 14 years now, I rarely touch my configuration. There's lines in my config today, that I haven't changed since I first learned to use Emacs and set it up (e.g. keybindings, tab-width, etc.).
I like that kind of stability, makes it possible to move my focus away from the editor, towards the problems I'm trying to solve.
