I'd rather not have Emacs as my environment. I really wish that something like Gnome worked as well as Emacs to be customiseable and extendible, and in fact that everything in /bin would share a cohesive, modular and programmable interface, preferably Scheme, but I'll settle for something sensible.
Emacs, and to a lesser extent, sch, are a nice first step to making a nice environment. But they still feel ten years old, or more. I use TUIs, and appreciate them. But VLC and my window manager should be beholden to the same level of control and interactivity.
And yes, I am never satisfied tweaking my system to my preferences, because I always hit roadblocks before I get there.
(I am totally fine with the kernel, and compilers and the like using "dirty" code -> that's one of the easiest ways to reach a damn fast system.)
