Picked up doom-emacs last month for org-mode, and am slowly getting into it. Then a couple of weeks ago started using beancount, with the emacs mode.
So far I'm still far more comfortable in vim and the terminal -- even, for instance, switching back to my terminal to do `bean-check` rather than doing it within emacs itself. I could see myself keeping my use of emacs pretty limited like this indefinitely, and still finding it useful - I'm unlikely to give up these uses of emacs. Maybe over a long enough time horizon emacs will feel a bit less strange to me and I'll find more places it fits a niche, or maybe not. Either way, it's a nice addition to my tool set, and I'll be curious to see where I land with in in a year or so.
- crankyoldcrank 6y agoIn Emacs, add (start-server) to your config. Then in your shell rc file: alias vim='emacsclient -a/usr/bin/vim -nw' Now if emacs is running you'll get emacs in the terminal when you use the command vim to open a file. If it's not running, vim opens it instead. Super slick for converts from the vim workflow
- Jtsummers 6y agoI think using the `--daemon` flag is better. Especially because you can then name the server session. I do this with an unnamed daemon for general use, but a project or language name for other efforts. It helps keep my configurations and buffers cleanly separated based on context.
- tarboreus 6y agoYou'll probably want to look into using Emacs as a server. Emacs creeps up on you, you'll be surprised looking back on this comment in a year.
