That's interesting because those are two tools I've tried to adopt multiple times, but never have managed to do.
Paredit is at least partly due to my long use of vi (and almost as long use of vim) keybindings; I use evil-mode, and bind << and >> to the appropriate adjust-parens functions for strucutural editing.
Magit is due to me having used git for so long that it takes me at least 5-10x as long to do something with magit as with the git terminal, and I'm just not at a point in my life where I desire to fight with my VCS when there is another option.
I suppose I'm just stuck in local maxima with regards to those two things, but I'd say I'm fast enough.
