I completely concur and _love it_.

I mostly just have an old .emacs because well over the years I put some
toggles or preferences there.  But stuff does work.

(Every now and then defaults change in ways some of us don't like. I for one
prefer older indentations over the newer clang-format / R's lintr or styler
default which I find unreadable. Luckly I have a snippet I added in 1997 or
so straight from the manual and all is good for me. [ I did have to holler
once or twice whem the lintr was autoenabled with bad defaults to boot. ])
