It sounds like you know very little about either F1 cars or Emacs. Emacs is more like an older Toyota pickup truck – been around for a long time, ubiquitous, flexible, can carry a load, simple, there's an abundance of spare parts, and there's no problem with it that a good mechanic cannot fix – most problems can be fixed even by improvisation in the field.

I still like the idea that professional tools, while too much work for most, are worth the effort to master, in a professional setting.

Your analogy works too, but it's parallel.
