Are we reading the same articles at all? Most of the Emacs posts I see are about extending features that lesser editors could only dream of supporting (using it as a window manager, media center, GUI etc.).
I always find it suprising how far anti-Emacs zealots will go to try and cast GNU+Emacs is a bad light. Somehow the fact that the GNU+Emacs community cares enough to share their configuration tips is a "bad" thing, rather than just being indicative of a supportive and friendly user community.
I guess if you are stuck in proprietary, telemetry-ridden editors like M$ vs-code, or sublime text, somehow you have to convince yourself that the grass truly isn't greener on the other side, and this is just one such coping mechanism.
