I've been using emacs for over a decade now and I have yet to reach this state of nirvana. I do want to understand every line of elisp and I've been doing a lot of elisp recently. But then again, I also have work to do, and I realize all I've been trying to achieve with my emacs config in the past 10 years is to make it work like a modern IDE. Which is perfect, because the reason I switched to Emacs in the first place is I just needed an IDE that I could fix.

However, ever since Sublime and now VS Code came about, I've been having this internal debate of whether I should just switch to a text editor that I can fix, but come configured sensibly OOTB, and let sunk time costs be. This used to be a tall order but VS Code seems to be really close to this ideal now.
