I've used Emacs for about 5 years now, exclusively in Evil mode. One of my biggest complaints is that my big complex configuration setup seems to break every time I migrate to a new version of Emacs, or a new computer. This last time, I had to install VS code to get my work done quickly because I didn't have time to mess around with my configuration (yet again). It was surprisingly easy to get up and going on vscode. If it wasn't based on Electron, I just might consider sticking with it. Tweaking Emacs consumes a lot of time and seems to never end.
- natded 5y agoThe speed to 'first development environment' (lol) is a day and night difference between VSC and Emacs. VSC is faster to setup by several orders of magnitude (even if you know Emacs). Overall I believe you can get the same functionality, if less customizable, in VSC. I can't remember the last time by VSC configuration broke. I guess there isn't much to break in it.
- hhnever 5y agoHave you tried any package manager tool that support taking a snapshot of your current whole setup (i.e. all the exact package version you are using)? Then on your new environment, it can be restored by the snapshot you saved before. Here is one I'm using https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el (it works for me except the overwhelming document).
