I completely agree. I find the idea of using someone else's Vim or Emacs config horrifying. They'll do everything differently and not necessarily better. I memorise how to configure vim how I like it and do it each time. Or how to change tmux bindings to use ctrl-a which I still need to memorise. Then I'm someone who remembers commands and switches and doesn't need to use recursive search to find commands I type in. Starting from fresh each time gives you a perspective of what is easier. Reader, can you write a Java application build.gradle, C makefile or Kubernetes YAML without copying and pasting from the web? Can you SSH jump from a bastion host from memory with -W? Can you create the directory structure of a Java project without copying from existing? Or do you write some terrible static configuration generator that doesn't get updates I've seen that so many times on projects. Saving time on the wrong thing rather than just learning the thing to begin with. I also prefer IntelliJ to Emacs and vim to Emacs. But I use Emacs keybindings in bash. Also I prefer bash to the other shells.
