I tried that, but it never worked as well for me as it did in Sublime Text, or more recently VS Code.

I get what you mean about Emacs's nearly universal code conventions, but that's an example of something I personally found to be more useful in theory than in practice. While I love the concept, 95% of the time I'm hacking around in Python. The rest of the time is a hodge-podge of shell scripts and the rare C snippet. Maybe a little SQL now and then, or perhaps some JavaScript. When I'm working in something that isn't my usual, I find myself spending much more time reading code than writing it, and in that context I don't get as much benefit from those conventions.

Of course this is all incredibly subjective. If you get a lot of benefit from that, awesome! I can definitely see the appeal. I just don't feel like it makes a whole lot of difference for me.
