    I really did a yearly config rewrite for a while

    In my experience, which seems to be identical experience of many, including the one who got me into emacs, emacs config re-writes tend happen every decade, rather than every year. Nice and peaceful like that. :)

      That’s refreshing to hear. I really got tired of messing with my nvim config all the time. I’m in that state with Emacs right now but I hope that once I’m done it’s a set it and forget it experience.

        While that’s possible, there are also so many things to entice one into adding more.

        But that’s still much more pleasant a blessing, making changes because of something you want, rather than because of something the developers did.

        Though, as for “done”… many emacs users [especially those who got really infected with emacs] may tell you it’s never done. ;)

        It’s plausible though.

        Some say the default config is, for them, done.
