I started using Emacs because it could actually run on my cheap netbook, and continued because I'm addicted to Magit and Tramp plus I can't retrain my window management muscle memory. Tinkering with it came naturally over the years in tiny increments, the same way VSCode users change a setting or install a plugin. The emacs.d folder is a git repo that follows me from system to system. Customising it isn't a selling point, it's more just the natural outcome of spending a lot of time near the editor. Choosing Emacs for its low memory and CPU footprint is probably very ironic to anyone from the era of Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping jokes.
