I'm a vim + fugitive user who tried emacs for a year about 2 years ago. I eventually moved back to vim but the thing I miss from emacs is magit. It made so much sense to me. Loved it.
I think your comment is probably tongue-in-cheek but I still want to throw my support in with the person you replied to.
The longer I've been at the company I'm at, the less interested I am in how cool something is and the more interested I am in the least effort possible to keep the app running.
