Experience in accomplishing what exactly?  How can I examine this
evidence?  I don't know what are your goals, is going down from 5%
percent to 4% on StackOverflow's survey this year is one of them?
I really want to see this story of success, but wherever I look
that has numbers tells that you can't compare numbers even with
Notepad++.  Perhaps you can point out what kind of thing can change
your decisions on things like this, but I find it hard to understand
how leaving whoever comes after you an even bigger Emacs despite
having said currently no one understands all parts of it.
