Thanks for noticing the issues, I will fix the issues and add the other features. > Did you not add use-package because it's not in the repositories you're using, or something else? Mainly that, but also I am not too fond of use-package. If I add support, it would be with my own package (setup) as an alternative. > Great choice adding Modus themes! Well they are bundled in by default. > * undo-tree. Not sure about this, I have heard people having issues with undo-tree due to the way it is implemented. Vundo seems to be an interesting alternative, but that is Emacs 28+ only. > * Magit keybind seems redundant as the package itself adds them, and it's swapped. True, but it binds to the C-x prefix which I think is a mistake (especially because it is one automatically).

> I am not too fond of use-package. What do you dislike about it? It seems like almost a standard now. Even if you don't personally like it, it might be useful to beginner Emacs users to use the tools that everyone else is using. I could say the same about helm.

  I believe it to have had issues that lead to inconsistencies and unnecessary complications. More details can be read out of my comparison between the package I wrote and use-package: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetupEl#h5o-20 https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetupEl#h5o-20. Yet in principle I do agree that it would be nice to have the option. The issue is how to explain this to someone who doesn't know anything yet about Emacs. Talking about the advantages or disadvantages of using a configuration macro requires some basic understanding of what the issue even is.
