This is also what I've read over the time: Some people don't like
AUCTeX's "feature-bloat"[1].  And also the size of the manual seems to
be daunting.  And to be honest, if one once wants to write a document
with vanilla LaTeX, no other packages etc. involved, then the built-in
mode might be a good/right choice.
