I agree.  It’s great that some of us are so passionate about Emacs (and
I’m certainly one of them), but I think we should make sure not to
spread the idea that one *has* to master Emacs to contribute to Guix.

Quite a few long-time contributors do not use Emacs; the tooling (‘guix
edit’, ‘guix refresh’, ‘guix style’) is also there to provide a good
experience whether or not one uses Emacs.

Ludo’.
