Well, it's not a cult.  Just a really neat tool.  

About time it took, it takes a LONG time to get started.  The idea
is you get it going, THEN NEVER QUIT IT.

  (you leave via M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs)

If you ever do want to learn it, do "help" (via control-H), then
"t" for "tutorial".  This is not a program you can just start using
without learning it first.  But the tutorial is really neat.
Try it, you will like it.
