Yeah and you just have one interface that you have to know and customize rather then 100. not to mention the pleasure of shell mode and and tramp and dired. I feel people are missing out not using emacs or emacs like tools where all your customization and custom functions, bindings and minor modes apply to everything else you do (should they be applicable).
haha I am in fact a long-standing near-vanilla emacs user. never said it being uncurated was a bad thing, the customizability is unrivalled and the reason I use it.
