I don't need to mess with configuring them. With Emacs, I have to do the same thing by hand. Is this really true? I would have said no, so I think it would be useful to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Could you give an example of one Emacs package that you have to "configure", and exactly what actions are needed to "configure" it?
