> You ALWAYS and CONTINUOUSLY have to invest time. That's false. You can continue to invest time, but you do not need to. Additional investment yields additional rewards, of course, but there are plenty of folks who just use Emacs as a glorified nano, knowing how to save and how to quit and not worrying about too much else. I think perhaps folks who are used to systems with limited potential are confused when dealing with a system with unlimited potential. You no more learn everything you can do with Emacs than you enumerate the integers: instead, you use the bits you need, as you need them. > Every time you want to use a new language, try a new plugin, etc. you need to learn a bunch of shortcuts … With VSCode, I can quickly try a dozens of plugins without having to learn all the bindings, and if I really want to use a few long-term I can just fuzzy search the commands and get a reminder of what the shortcut is. What are you talking about? Among the virtues of Emacs are consistent keybindings and fuzzy search for commands. I do not get all these folks who think they know everything about Emacs when they clearly have never used it.
