Being one of those people that still recommends Emacs and have sunk countless hours in my personal dotfiles: I kinda enjoy doing it, that's why I am doing it. It feels great having a configuration so tailored to me personally that it almost feels like clothing or other lifestyle choices. I mean sure, clothes, makeup, cars and whatever are all also huge wastes of time and resources in our short and mostly dreadful lives, but at least Emacs still brings me joy :-)
