Emacs is a tool designed for power users. And I think its a good goal to strive for. Programming should be really about pushing the boundaries of what is possible, especially in case of tooling.

I've seen developers even people with 10+ experience repeat several manual things in case of general software development workflow. Every developer must know how to automate things like this.

In fact everything apart from the thinking part should be automated in most cases.

I agree with most of your points, however they can't be accomplished solely by using emacs

A lot of my automation is done in Bash, some in Python and other languages, not necessarily in the editor
