how much of the attraction of emacs is "because I can" and a love of doing things the hard way? I bet y'all were grinding your own coffee before it was cool, probably drive a manual (stick shift) and never quit vinyl records. #emacs #BecauseItsThere

@helgztech I picked up emacs after reaching the limits of vim, it wasn't about doing it the hard way, but the realization I'll be using it almost every day for many more years and every tweak that made me a little bit more productive would pay off in the long term. Even when it seems like that isn't true, which it sometimes does, it's still a lot of fun to configure emacs the way I like it.
@ambihelical I feel like the real ROI is for hardcore ITC pros, but then I think how many tools I've gone through over the years as a casual user - that time would have been well spent.
