I suggest working with just evil mode for a bit, or going all the way with vanilla emacs. Spacemacs is great, but overwhelming. Also, spacemacs should not be used in sensitive contexts, because it is a massive security hole: it brings in a vast number of melpa packages, the git repositories for any one of which could be compromised. And whenever spacemacs updates, it updates all those packages for you, and melpa updates a package on any new commit to the source git repository.
- cryptarch 10y agoThank you for reminding me of the security implications! I tend to forget there's a more reasons I develop on Debian Stable than "it's convenient to standardize on something you can run on prod".
- alphapapa 10y agoYep, that's true. They're planning to essentially fork MELPA and have their own "stable" repo of packages Spacemacs uses. I wish them luck on that, because the security issue is a concern.
- AlexCoventry 10y agoThat's interesting. Can you point me to where that's discussed?
- alphapapa 10y agoIIRC I saw it in the Spacemacs release notes.
