After years of using other people's configs, I found that they never really fit my way of working completely and they're filled with things I don't understand and/or don't use. I think most people will want to use their own configs after a while, and that's one of emacs's greatest strengths. Nowadays we have multiple package repositories and multiple ways of configuring it to suit your tastes. I also find the description filled with buzzwords and buzz-phrases to the point where it becomes meaningless.

I think they are called "starter kits" for a reason :). > I also find the description filled with buzzwords and buzz-phrases to the point where it becomes meaningless. I have looked into their config today. Nothing very amazing, but indeed a better default experience. It's much simpler (compared to Spacemacs) which I think is more beginner friendly.
