The vanilla Emacs experience is traditionally horrible until you start tweaking it. And it for years the maintainers of Emacs refuse to do anything to fix it. So I would say complaints are pretty valid when its the same people that push Emacs as the "blessed" way to contribute (as in the guix manual) and then people see Emacs vanilla and cant use it. The problematic is not that you say positive stuff about Emacs. I have a lot of positive stuff to say too :) The problem part is the way you dismissed the persons experience as "bollocks". The knowledge that the Emacs community is pretty conservative in changing anything for decades in the default config also doesn't help. MSavoritias
