Not in the medium or long run as you get better with Elisp, and keyboard macros are much more difficult to adapt/debug. There is the ELPA and MELPA with readily transferable Elisp for a reason. But where do you guys get your keyboard macros? The port block? Learn to type really, really fast. Use Elisp whenever it isn't fast enough.
