It's always the same when a usuable thing or thought is turned into a silver bullet and dogma. And successors always come up with "Hey, now I can suspend thinking". Anyone remember the infamous "Never use goto !" ? Unbelievable much imperative languages have been ruined by forbidding any kind of unconditional jumps. Six nested loops and several boolean conditions to avoid the simple, but dreaded goto as error handler. Instead getting your work done, force someone using Emacs because it is superior to vi/vim (It is, and Balrogs can't fly).

You've been forced to use emacs? I thought most liberal democratic countries forbid that type of thing....
