You should use the search function at the bottom of the page before posting. Seems like I see a doom emacs post every month.
That bit of housekeeping aside, I'm not a fan of the various Emacs starter kits, except maybe as a 'demo' of Emacs features for potential users. They don't offer anything new, and they're hard to support.
- dgellow 6y agoNone of the previous posting got any traction, so I'm not sure how you could see a doom emacs post every month. The previous one seem to be from 2 months ago, and the one before from 8 months ago. That doesn't seem that frequent (though I'm familiar with HN rules). But you're right, I could have checked before sharing the link.
- twentydollars 6y agoFair enough. I have a special RSS feed that pulls in all emacs-related posts, so I'm biased that way.
- dgellow 6y agoI'm not using start kits myself but it's always interesting to see how a fully configured emacs can look. The default emacs is a bit austere. As you say, as a demo for users. Anyway, it's an interesting project, even if I wouldn't use it myself.
