For similar reasons I’ve never been inclined to actually try it out, beyond watching a few videos here and there. It is clearly a very sophisticated system. I might be wrong, but my impression is that it appeals to a very particular type of people who are already computer scientists or at least programmers and who spend most of their time within a single type of editor (such as Emacs or Vim), and therefore the benefits for them justify the learning curve, plus their minds and habits have already been primed by their studies. E.g. I do like to use keyboard shortcuts, but there is a limit to how many I’m willing to memorise, while these editors seem to require a huge number of different combinations… Plus I like to use lots of different software ;-)
