@BigEatie Time saved long term is non-existent on my list of reasons why I use Emacs and before that Vim. At the top is the lack of mouse switching I need to edit text with either editor. With Emacs I'd add the ease and power of customizing it, which is primarily the reason I switched.
I suspect it is not a net savings though, but I don't really care if it is or isn't. I think it saved my sanity though, that seems more important.
