More like mind-numbing for me, because there are just too many keybindings to remember and it is so annoying when you get them wrong. Anyway, I was hoping someone would make a film documentary showing Sacha (or some other Emacs guru) doing everday stuff under Emacs, to see how much of a speed and efficiency advantage it has (if any) compared to using say, Mozilla for browsing newsgroups/replying to email, and perhaps SciTE, for editing programs.
