> You’re both using someone’s configuration framework, which goes bery much against the vanilla emacs’s way

I heard a similar argument about vim's billion configuration options.

At some point I simply got tired of having to tweak it and switched to a better editor (not emacs though; both vim and emacs are losing in any debate, but it's a fun debate nonetheless since both camps think software can only be written with these two editors; everyone else must be clueless and skillless).

You met some odd Emacs users. Every Emacs user I have met is a strong proponent of personal computing and crafting tools that work for the individual. It's true that some have a hatred of software that removes users' freedoms but that doesn't mean they think users of freedom-restricting software are skilless.
