I don't know. I used emacs for a solid year (in evil mode admittedly), and my configuration kept breaking with new updates. I spent more time fiddling with my config files than being productive. I love lisp and the idea of emacs. But when I started using vscode, my productivity immediately jumped. Emacs also suffers from latency spikes, even worse than vscode does. I want Emacs, but with the speed of Rust, and the polish of vscode.

My experience has been the opposite. I spent a few weeks doing a lot of config randomly, but after I had a solid setup, I rarely touch it.
I haven't made a config change in months. And the last few were all just new convenience shortcuts.
