I say this as I've been using Emacs pretty much every day for about 2-3 years, yet I can't help but feel I've only ventured a couple of miles into the journey.
I use Emacs not just for coding, but organising and note taking, file management, shell, git (just beginning to), irc, sometimes for browsing and occasionally twittering. I know (and love) registers, macros, jumping around with "the mark". However I feel as thought I have reached the so called "Plateau Effect" where I'm not advancing any further.
There are a bunch of good blogs out there about Emacs which I read occasionally as well as flicking through the wiki
But, I still feel as though I am no where near what can be called an "advanced user". I feel as though there is still so much more Emacs has to offer, but I just can't find it.
I guess my question is: where do I go from here? How does one become truly advanced?
Sorry for hijacking this thread, and thanks in advance for any pointers.
I'm 2 years into emacs myself and end up with the same feeling, in my opinion the Advanced user uses the help before online documentation, because everything is provided in emacs the self documenting text editor, not only that but Advanced really means learning Elisp so that whatever you want to implement can be done to your liking not someone else's template, but I do know this for sure I do love emacs and I mean that It's the one tool that has the same model I think in one tool many platforms.

P.S. FWIW my emacs.d is on github: https://github.com/ibrow/.emacs.d
