After i stopped trying to make a neovim Clone, i’m starting to enjoy emacs for what it is and can be. Still a LONG ways of “done”, but i’m finally starting to be happy with my config.
What made you switch?
Mostly the fact i was trying to make Neovim into a GUI Editor, which it just isn’t. There are things throughout the day where a mouse is usefull. I want Variable Pitch fonts in notes and I wanted more flexibility when it came to things like the modeline. Finally, the fact that i can write my own functions to set stuff up is pretty great. With Neovim you can do a lot with lua, but it’s mostly an API and not so much you programming the editor. Hard to explain.
Apart from that, the potential ceiling for emacs is higher (i think). It can do a LOT more than neovim does. I’m not using much of it at the moment, but plan to in the future.
And i didn’t exactly “switch”. I still have my neovim config around for work in the terminal and for “quick edits”.
That’s gorgeous, very nice work!
Very nice! I didn’t even know you could put emacs inside use-package.
Nice. OP.
