Ehm... I fail to see substantial arguments... I can just extract: - having others using different tools and being non in comfy position it's a known thing, and often demonstrate that others choose bad habits instead of you - pair programming is harmful nothing else. I almost live in Emacs digitally since I boot to EXWM, have my files as org-mode attachments, info in general in notes and so on, I have some complaint like poor handling of floating windows, some blocking operation, rare crashes, ... witch are Emacs issues (well, Emacs ecosystem, at least), but the fact that others have other tools and working together due to the tools other use, not made to play with other, is an issue it's not an Emacs issue. It's like saying "Emails are bad because my contacts use WA and WA can't read or send emails". Pair programming fall in a similar category: "hey, I'm tall/short/fat/hairy/with little|large feet|hands so I do not fit well in common clothes, it's the final nail I have to conform my body to the others". It's not an argument, it's the DEFEAT of a human choosing to be part of a machine instead of being a human, with it's idea, tools and so on cooperating with other humans, similar, but different where the difference is the key of intelligent innovation, evolution, if our peers are smart. Working in a setup that demand such level of conformism means working in a fragile setup (too tied to some third party tool) with limited innovation margins since different vision can't be compared and discussed regularly boosting idea migration. Some conformism is useful under certain emergency, not in the ordinary life. Making ordinary life like an emergency means being unable to live.
