I really f'ing love Emacs, and... this is true. I'm still constantly learning, 3 decades in.
But that's part of its appeal - it's a constantly evolving, you tweak and modify it for your needs, and you grow and change together.
I'm very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)
it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the "just missing a good editor" joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.
(personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had
ctrlnext toa.)
