I used Emacs every day for 28 years. Until I got really tired of having to put it up on the jacks, as it were, for a weekend every now and then. In order to deal with the fact that everyone who works on Emacs seems to think everyone else is just as enthusiastic as them about spending their weekends fiddling with Emacs. It isn't for me. At least not anymore. Dealing with Emacs is a lot like dealing with software written in Python: probably great if you really like going trough long descriptions of how to get something to work. Not so great if you are more concerned with using the tools rather than fiddling with the tools.
