Not sure about the OP but having used Emacs for 4 years and being proficient in Elisp, just the fact that I can spend a small amount of time writing Emacs lisp to automate anything. Like for example spending a few minutes to make any Jira ID text a link to the tickets page, list my GitLab ToDos at the bottom of the screen, or perform complex multi-step data manipulations/visualizations accessable from a single key binding. The more things that enter Emacs, the more things can be automated together.
