Since then it seems like editors/ides have advanced and eaten emacs’s lunch, and I can barely understand my own .emacs anymore due to disuse. If I'm writing Java I'll definitely use a JVM hosted IDE like Eclipse, but other than that I'm just not seeing this. For example, I recently decided to try VSCode for a popular scripting language and if anything configuring it to work properly was actually more difficult than getting lsp-mode and few helper packages working in GNU Emacs. Spacemacs[1] is another popular "modern" Emacs distribution that you may be interested in. [1] https://www.spacemacs.org/ https://www.spacemacs.org/
