I have to learn emacs lisp for my program language and design course but Ive been ive known somewhat about it for a while. Ive browsed this subreddit and keep seeing people ranting and raving about how customizable it is and how you can tailor it to exaxrly what your workflow needs but could some one give me examples of the usefulness of this extreme level of customization? Like is it about automation of tasks or maybe faster text editing like vim? I kinda sort understand that its a whole environment that can do a lot of different stuff but i guess i just dont understand why its so great. Im assuming it was absolutely wild back when all you had was a terminal but If I can optimiz my workflow with it now then Id like to try it out.
TLDR what are some of the ways you customized ur emacs config and why? what does it actually improve in your daily life/workflow
