+1 for use-package being the only thing that's missing. I'm delighted at how nice this guy makes Emacs look and work with only built-ins (ido in Emacs 27, and fido-veritcal in Emacs 28 go a long way to increasing Emacs' ergonomics imo) but since they're reaching for some installed packages, might as well throw use-package in there to foster further growth.
(If I'm not mistaken, use-package almost made it into upstream Emacs, but they're blocked because one company won't give away the copyright for one contributor to use-package to enable it to be added to Emacs. For the larger Emacs community, I hope that happens soon!)
- Mk2000 5y agoThat problem is solved now, it's going to be added to emacs. See: https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/282 https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/282
- nanna 5y agoGreat news.
- natrys 5y agoThere will also be icomplete-vertical. Maybe not as good as community/userspace solutions, but many built-ins saw tons of usability improvements. Aside from one or two things, project.el now covers most of the important projectile functionalities. And magit is magit, but for simple things vc.el might be enough. Also the amazing Modus themes finally stopped my theme hopping. In elisp side, the generic seq.el/map.el and new string functions are now almost enough to not need reaching out to "missing stdlib" such as dash.el/s.el etc.
- hnrj95 5y agoi actually think icomplete-vertical is great—except one thing. the rotation of candidates i find more visually disturbing than what vertico or selectrum does. +100x for modus’ being amazing. cheers to prot on his great work
