I said this before in regards to choosing Emacs or something else. I'll repeat it here again. There are always multiple paths to get something done. Some people prefer automation. Having "a bucket of bolts and nuts" makes it possible to hack your way around things. Some people like Ferrari. But for many - the utilitarian value of that car is infinitesimal. Instead, they'd rather have exactly what can be described as "a bucket of bolts and nuts". They cannot go camping in a Ferrari; or take their beloved bullmastiff to a vet in it; nobody drives a Ferrari to help their friends to move furniture. Emacs is "a bucket of bolts and nuts" and not something akin to a shiny, expensive but not very useful car. It's more like a transformer - you can build a pickup truck, a camper, an ambulance, or a race car. And that's what makes it a fantastic tool for some people and an immense pain for many others. Some people like Ferrari. And there is nothing wrong with that.
