Have you spent hundreds of hours configuring and thinking about Emacs?
And despite that your fondness for it only continues to grow?
And when you can’t explain to your friends why you love Emacs you chalk it up to your own poor communication skills.
I do.
But here is another explanation.
I dare you to watch all eleven minutes.

It might be hard to admit it for us Emacsers but most of us are pretty comfortable using Excel (or its clones) for data management. Maybe the fun stops there but it doesn’t have to.
Here are the two most important functions for getting the most out of working together with Org-Mode data tables and Excel (without having to use literate programming):

They say that Emacs was inspired by real LISP machines from Symbolics and more. Here are two of those Symbolics machines for sale on eBay:

Wada (creator of the Happy Hacking Keyboard): because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces.
The HHKB shirt says: 「馬の鞍」- saddle of a horse.
