I think "tinkering for hours" is overstated. My vim/neovim and emacs setup usually take no less than 30 minutes (including installing favourite plugins/packages). Then I can use them to get my work done.
Well, I'm not that obsessed with tweaking every bits, though. When I'm using vim/emacs, I never intend to configure them into IntelliJ replacement.
- emacsen2 3y agoThe only people tinkering for hours are either having fun making customizations, or are debugging something gnarly. If you just leave your config alone, you have to do approximately zero maintenance. Maybe a version upgrade breaks a package. Maybe. Otherwise, I'm tired of this canard. Emacs doesn't make you do anything to your configuration you don't choose to do yourself.
