I second this. Emacs is plenty capable out of the box and just fine that way. It's a "choose your own adventure" that allows you to be as disciplined or as reckless as you choose. It's almost like it grants you...freedom :)

I think this SO question demonstrates this well. The question is how to select a window quickly. You can install umpteen different packages and have several black-box soltions, if you want. But it really can be as simple as this if it fits your need:

``` ;; Select the 3rd window in the `window-list' (select-window (nth 2 (window-list))) ```

Emacs almost always allows you to find a solution in-between.
