Well I never cursed it, I just never used it :-(. I am a vi guy, so the
first thing was always to set up another editor for me.

If you are emacs oriented, go for it. But don't expect anyone to
maintain it. It would be your baby and you should look after it. Getting
access to the git repository is rather easy and if you place your files
there in the buildtool environment it will just be taken along. I would
believe KP can register you for the git repository.
