Not really. The dominent solution nowadays is to use starterpacks/distributions of emacs-configurations. Spacemacs and doom-emacs are pretty popular. Emacs-Project itself is rather conservative in that regard. Vanilla-Emacs is still ugly has hell and not much different from decades ago.
There are voices who demand to lean more toward VS Code in that aspect, so maybe in another 10+ years emacs will finally innovate itself there.
- k_bx 6y agoMain use-case here is to open emacs in terminal (emacs -nw) for a quick edit. Emacs in terminal doesn't look ugly at all (because of lack of GUI), and is quite usable without config actually (that's how I'm using it for quick edits, "emacs -nw -q"), but modes and configurations would be definitely helpful to have without sacrificing time-to-edit.
