I just played around with exwm a bit, and that seems like it would be a major issue for me. I love the idea of exwm, though.
BTW, I had to run exwm under emacs26 (the first blocker for emacs25 in my case was the function string-version-lessp). The wiki[0] says that it'll work with emacs24 and greater.
I also had to install it with package-check-signatures set to nil, because my emacs couldn't verify the signature on elpa package exwm-0.22. It's possible that's a spacemacs configuration issue, or something to do with switching from emacs25 to 26.

- profsnuggles 8y agoI mentioned in another post that I've found that in practice emacs blocking isn't an issue for me. What I didn't say is that I did need to do some configuration to make that happen. Mostly I just installed the async package and enabled all its features. I could have also sworn that I spent a lot of time configuring gnus so it wouldn't freeze my X session. Looking at my init.el though I don't see anything other than the standard gnus configuration. Maybe my tweaks got rolled into gnus as defaults at some point?
