It claims to be "Awesome by default", but does not tell much about what that actually means.

It claims to be "Awesome by default", but does not tell much about what that actually means.
- andrewem 9y agoI think what they mean is it's fully set up, so that if you've never used Emacs and you start using it, you won't encounter the situation where something stinks and your friend who's an experienced Emacs user says "oh, you need to customize such and such." So, "awesome by default" rather than "awesome after many hours of learning about and applying configuration changes." (I have no idea whether what they've done would meet that criterion for a large number of potential users.)
- fergie 9y agoI think (and I say this with love) that any sane person who starts using emacs will find it infuriating- its part of the appeal.
- emidln 9y agoThat wasn't my experience with Spacemacs. If it was infuriating to use, I would have immediately gone back to my well-oiled .vimrc.
- slurppurple 9y agoSo true. I recently started using it while learning common lisp and it is really fun and really frustrating
- gtsteve 9y agoIt installs vim.
- executesorder66 9y agoIf you look in frontmacs-config.el you can see this setting: (awesome-mode t) /s
