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. Speed kills.
