That is true (in a myopic sense). The learning curve for emacs is pretty steep. It may be a hindrance to productivity in the short term, but if you say it lowers productivity in general, u probably haven't used it long enough.
It is like the harley davidson bike - the owner is so busy tuning it and bragging about it that he rarely gets to go anywhere.
Maybe some people enjoy tuning more than travelling. If they aren't doing it on your time and money, it shouldn't bother you.
If i program, i like specialised tools - one for html, js and css, another for python, another for text editing, another for remote editing ...
Good for you ... as long as you don't bad-mouth what other's like :-(
