Every time you start the develop branch it displays a huge message saying "Version 0.300 is almost out!" (with a description of how stable releases on master branch are the current objective) and it's been displaying that message for 3 years. There is a rolling branch, but the release branch isn't rolling. Spacemacs is usable but the project is calcifying, I wouldn't recommend anyone hitch their cart to it.
Like, I'm jumping ship as I write this. My job for the next few days is converting my config to Doom.
- gandalfgeek 6y agoThis is exactly the problem with these huge pre-configured "distros" like Spacemacs and Doom. It looks like you spend a lot of time fighting the opinionated setup of the distro. You might as well spend that time starting from vanilla Emacs and craft your own config.
- bananaface 6y agoFWIW while it feels like I'm constantly fighting Spacemacs, it hasn't felt that way with Doom so far. Spacemacs introduces a lot of unnecessary abstractions that are very difficult to perform surgery on whereas Doom seems closer to "sane defaults, but you can modify them easily".
