    It let's old timers who are too lazy to update their skill set continue to pretend that they're still relevant and that the reason they can't get a job and are sat at home playing in Emacs is obviously ageism and nothing to do with their inability to adapt to changing development practices.

    Oh, you mean what's it's practical use? No, it doesn't have one anymore over other much more productive tools.
