Familiar with Emacs *programming* modes? Newbie concerns...

[Christian Seberino]

I have been neglecting learning about other emacs modes
because they seemed complicated.  I was also
afraid that different "modes" would change
a lot of things I was comfortable with.

Have you had good experience with C-mode, C++-mode,
Java-mode, etc???  Are they easy to customize
and bend to your will??? I'd like to turn off some features
and turn on other features and create other features.

It seems one could make Java, C & C++ files all go into
the *same* emacs mode since syntax for all 3 are so *similar*.
   
I'm just afraid of emacs modes and was curious
how you fared with them.

(My O'Reilly Emacs book was lacking so I'll read
GNU manual next...)
