Why would this apply to editors, especially OS-ish editors like Emacs, but not real OSs? I barley know anyone who could just use a bare, unmodified linux install (putting preconfigured distros like Ubuntu aside), maybe OpenBSD people could manage it, but I'm not sure.

I have a quite extensive .emacs, and sometimes I might spend more time working on it that I would immediately want to, but I rarely regret it. Why? Since it helps me in the long term, which is exactly what customizations are about.
