Yes, definitively.
Most people do not practice the habit of learning their tools with a certain amount of effort.
So hip tools that do promote features prominently do have advantages.
However, as we've learned, VSC will be long gone when Emacs still offers its features. 🤷

I upgraded my lenovo #T490 from #NixOS 24.11 to 25.05 within an hour or so.
I've lost "xdu" (custom package doesn't compile anymore), had to manually download a closed source binary once again, had to manually replace "okular" with "kdePackages.okular" and remove "services.locate.localuser".
The upgrade went somewhat fine. Didn't find any issues so far besides the usual Python annoyances (manual re-creation of all venv and so forth).
However, I'm looking forward to switching back to #Debian in a few months. My Debian upgrades didn't require that much time and effort AFAIR and #Python is working in a normal way.

#irreal and [@bbatsov](https://hachyderm.io/@bbatsov ) about #Emacs startup time: https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12903
I, too, am totally convinced that it really doesn't matter if it is one or sixty seconds.
However, if your bootup time is much longer than mine (15-30s once a week) then you most probably have room for improvement (if you want). Consistent use of #usepackage with dependencies and "defer" did help on my side.
My config has 7724 lines of #elisp (19851 including #orgmode comments): https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

The Microsoft-Dilemma - #Europe as a #Software Colony (43min)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaYLW7LQvg
This is how the #EU is paying a secret number of Millions to #Microsoft in order to stay less secure, more dependend, less self-empowered, and more corrupt.
And this was known even before the US went totally crazy, risking our future big time.
So let's change and take back control using #FOSS software and open standards for true competition and actually according to our own rules for a change.

I had to report and block some idiots writing nasty stuff as response to my toots.
In some way that's good news because that means that the Fediverse is growing, attracting more than just European leftists. 😉

Das Ende von #Windows10 ist der beste Anlass, endlich auf #Linux zu wechseln - derStandard.at
https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000256195/das-ende-von-windows-10-ist-der-beste-anlass-endlich-auf-linux-zu-wechseln?ref=rss
"Wem es ebenfalls absurd – und aus einer Nachhaltigkeitsperspektive problematisch – vorkommt, einen tadellos funktionierenden Rechner wegen begrenzt nachvollziehbarer Vorschriften von #Microsoft wegzuwerfen, der sei daran erinnert, dass es Alternativen gibt. Linux ist längst zu einer auch für die breite Masse formidablen Alternative zu #Windows avanciert, die auch auf solch älteren Rechnern tadellos läuft."
Doschauher, im Standard schreiben sie sowas? Linux scheint jetzt endlich mal in der Masse anzukommen. Ich arbeitete darauf seit Jahrzehnten. 😉

Paper surely has its advantages, I totally agree.
Just to make it more complicated: there are awesome eink tablets like Boox Note Air series that provide a hybrid. I recommend the videos of My Deep Guide on YT. The guy also sells PDF-based planners you might be interested in. HTH

Reading the ambitious roadmap of #GrapheneOS, I get the impression that this might become the most secure and #privacy-respecting platform that also overlaps with many classic desktop use-cases and desktop OS. 🤔
