I'm cursing daily about Emacs' and GNUS' complexity, but I'm sure I'd
curse more without Emacs.  E.g. Org-babel massively helps getting my
code centric notes done.  That's like Jupyter Notebook on steroïds.  And
that way I kind of already have caught my Emacs locked in syndrome, so
GNUS makes the most sense for me.

Th ROI only is significant when you use Emacs a lot, but then the
different "applications" in Emacs support each other and those effects
stack up like the modules involved, e.g. just "cd"-ing in Eshell to a
remote system as easy as changing a local dir.  Or switching the mode of
the buffer to org while writing news and having the table commands or
code blocks at hand.

    The famous joke:  Emacs is a great operating system.  If only it
came with a good text editor too ;)
