Yes, I think I had two things in mind when I said: (1) That time spent to master Emacs is much higher than say traditional IDEs. I get what you are saying. I hardly edit my Emacs config anymore, except once in a while. (2) I think I disagree about loading a package with just couple of lines each. Some packages work well that way. Simple packages, which most of them would be work fairly well that way. But soon as you start using some non-trivial packages, say company, projectile, magic, lsp you may or may not be ok with the defaults. I'm not doing anything fancy particularly like making my own modes, except making Emacs behave certain way. e.g. I see I've ~80 lines configuring Shackle which decides where certain popup windows Emacs show up, because if I don't have that, it just puts them wherever sometimes. I can live without this change, but it is really nice to control that.
