The biggest problem for me is the constant context switching between those defaults chosen 30 years ago and the defaults converged on by every other app I use.

Of course, no context switching is needed if you do everything in Emacs.

You can't. Everyone except for RMS also uses at least a real web browser.

Clearly this is just how Emacs cultivates vendor lock-in.
