> it is easy for two extensions to interfere unintentionally
This is true in theory but, in two decades of pulling in lots of extensions and writing lots of custom Elisp, I've ≈never seen extensions interfering with each other. I've found the vast majority of Elisp code to be surprisingly robust and pleasant to work with despite flaunting software engineering "best practices". It's gotten me to fundamentally rethink what it means to write high-quality code!

This is definitely true. Hopefully distributions like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs help with this, but I expect base Emacs is always going to be a bit wonky :P
