Agree! But
I use an open source app, data is encrypted on disk and never leaves my device (blocked all outgoing connections just in case).
I tried Emacs for org-mode a few years ago as it looked very cool from Youtube videos. Maybe I'm dumb but I found it terribly annoying, huge waste of time customizing it and felt like I needed a PhD to use Emacs shortcuts.

Learning and using Emacs is a time commitment that pays off the longer you use it. They don't call it an "editor for life" for nothing.
You're not dumb; Emacs has a steeper learning curve than vim. If you ever consider returning to Emacs, the best tutorial is building your own config (slowly) and practice using the keybindings and commands. It'll click eventually.
