use-package has basically solved the package management problem for me in Emacs.
- BeetleB 6y agouse-package can make package management easier, but using it s not beginner friendly. As an advanced Emacs user, when I read its docs, there were too many subtleties that can trip up a beginner. Indeed, just yesterday I stopped using use-package for one of my packages as I couldn't figure out why it wasn't behaving properly - reverting to require solved it.
