So here's something I didn't expect from going from VSCode -> #emacs / #spacemacs

On a wide screen I actually don't like using the far left of my screen, and having the explorer tree there kind of pushes my editor into the centre.

I suppose I could open a tree view or some other buffer on the left as padding? I like to full screen the app because I dont like seeing the mess behind it . I'm just a fussy person yeah?

I need to have #emacs on VMs I create at work. Right now I copy over a mini .emacs 200 lines long instead of my large personal config. Maybe I should consider #doom #doomemacs. Hmm, #chocolatey has #spacemacs, maybe I'll try that. We'd all like to spend less time configuring emacs, tempting as it is.

@sqrtminusone @thelegendlinux And I think it's a good thing #doomemacs works so well without any work. I wouldn't have become an #emacs user without the preconfigured #evilmode setup in #spacemacs. I would have fixed my dll-hell broken vim installation instead. Maybe I'll create my own config from scratch in time, but I really like that someone had given me sensible defaults and chosen nice packages to get me started.

Annnnnd done. Freshly compiled emacs 29.1. :heart_cybre: And spacemacs, to save my hands...

@glucas @jaharmi org-mode brought me emacs https://cmdln.org/2023/03/13/reflecting-on-my-history-with-org-mode-in-2023/ spacemacs made emacs approachable and comfortable for my vi fingers and the space bindings have really grown on me and all the wonderful emacs things let's me stay in org-mode and intersect with org-mode with hardly any effort. It wasn't a quick process but it's been worth it for me. https://cmdln.org/2023/03/25/how-i-org-in-2023/

@meena @darius I am one of those people!

Org-mode brought me to emacs. Evil made it usable. Spacemacs accelerated the journey.

When is the right time to declare #emacs bankruptcy?

It's eight years old
.. and has pivoted from #spacemacs to #doomemacs.
.. and "supports" Manjaro, Manjaro with Guix, Guix System, Windows, WSL, WSL
with Guix System
.. and many different hardware configurations
.. and six different "contexts" (e.g. clients)
.. and many different forms of note-taking, zettlekasten, gtd etc.

Just spent a day wrestling the notes into submission, and not looking forward to taming my ~7000 line configuration.

@enistello @whynothugo I switched from vim to emacs via spacemacs like 8 years ago. https://cmdln.org/2023/03/13/reflecting-on-my-history-with-org-mode-in-2023/ It's been amazing. The vim key bindings feel natural and I really appriciate the memonic spc bindings from spacemacs.

I was wondering how I could edit long textarea on mobile browsers conveniently. #kiwibrowser supports extensions, so I could install #ghosttext and starts #atomicemacs on #Emacs ( #spacemacs ) on #termux running on #SamsungDex ( #GalaxyZFold ). My mobile desktop environment with #LG curved monitor with #HHKB (#happyhacking keyboard) , wired network is very pleasant. The browser is developed in #estonia, at least it's not like UC Browser. I'm investigating how trustworthy the developer is.

@sergio_101 @kentborg I actually have no idea what vanilla emacs feels like.. Started with Emacs when my Vim installation broke on Windows, and installed #spacemacs right away. Migrated to #doomemacs as Spacemacs was quite slow. Guess I'd be quite lost in vanilla Emacs.

@davep #Spacemacs (https://www.spacemacs.org/layers/+lang/rust/README.html#table-of-contents) 😬?

@bacardi55 @dekkzz76 6 years ago I made a video on what it is like to configure a vanilla Emacs for Clojure development. It might be worth looking at when considering not using doom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPPh2jUrkg . The irony is that 6 years ago I could not get used to #spacemacs, but now I use #doom :D

If you don't know #emacs and are interested in getting stated with #orgmode for #gtd, #pkm and or everything else check out this video that shows the basics of getting started with org-mode using #spacemacs.

@mitchmarq42xyz @smeikx I use #termux for #orgmode in #spacemacs using evil-mode on Android. It's pretty usable when I'm not connecting a full keyboard.

I haven't used #SpaceMacs so can't really give an opinion on that. But from what I've heard, the same criticism applies, with added performance concerns.

Vimari, my Emacs origin story, a 24-year-old free sample chapter, and my Jurassic Park moment with a pizza box. John Wick 4, Diego Sanchez has lessons.

@nielsk @slevisak it was true for me, #orgmode was the motivation. I too tried and failed many times before it stuck. I recently reflected on my history with org mode https://cmdln.org/2023/03/13/reflecting-on-my-history-with-org-mode-in-2023/ and I'm still working on how I org these days https://cmdln.org/2023/03/25/how-i-org-in-2023/.

TLDR; Can't live without evil-mode, #Spacemacs made #Emacs approachable and accelerated everything.

... sad to admit, but I think it's time to hop to other text (source code) editor :(
Considering the #neovim now. Can you give some advice / links to docs or configs?
Some time ago I tried to use #spacemacs and fell in love with its idea of semantic keybind chaining. But with all the plugins used it became too slow and sometimes buggy.
Also, like to code configs with #lua (thanks #textadept 😢).

*Top languages I need support for: md, html, scss, js, ts, bash, python, plantuml.
