This doesn't make sense. You used to be someone easily distracted by yak shaving, is what it reads like.

Installing features in Emacs is not exactly tough, either. I do think you can get distracted by the sea of things you can install. Probably no different from the new toys in the realm.

Makes sense to me. I love both emacs and vim, but I agree there are too many yaks to be shaved to get them in a usable state.

I question the lack of shaving in the next application. Seems there is always something that could have been done a different way.
