Same here.

Emacs was in fact one reason to learn Lisp. Once I did that I became a
more confident tweaker (.emacs/init.el) and a more compentent user.

Yes! With almost 30 years of use, I have over time incorporated a lot of
advanced things into my daily routine, so for me the editor has become
more powerful than in my beginnings, simply because I use more features
of this power tool. Tools need to be mastered, and, in order to be worth
the time put into mastering them, they need to be powerful tools.
