Clunky interface aside (a given with emacs), what's wrong with package-list-packages and customize? It's essentially no different to installing and configuring packages in vscode. Why do you think use-package is necessary?
- legends2k 6y agoTying configurations and customizations to a package, inter-package configurations, etc. are taken care by use-package. Disable a package, its related configuration is also cleanly disabled.
- TeMPOraL 6y agouse-package + eschewing customize makes it easier to manage your Emacs configuration as code, and keep it synced across Emacs installations on different machines. Otherwise, package-list-packages and customize are awesome. The interface isn't even that clunky, and it's more powerful than equivalent interfaces in other software. Particularly customize, I'm very impressed by how it works.
