I always come back to eMacs at least once a year, fall in love with some of the functionality, then rediscover that every package only works for 80% of my use cases and requires extensive configuration, and after spending hours customising it I have a slightly inferior product to any other IDE because a) some things still don’t work and b) nobody works with eMacs, so there is zero interop. Too bad..
- zelphirkalt 4y agoI work with Emacs. I also find that magit and org mode are great examples of doing things better than other tools. Biffer management is another thing. I find it to be superior to handling tabs. vterm and shell are also incredibly helpful. vterm for when you need ncurses or self updating output, shell when you do not and want to easily copy paste from output. Vterm can copy paste too but needs a key combination to switch between modes. There is at least editorconfig for sharing config with other editors a little.
- moi2388 4y agoYeah org mode would be great. But please tell me how you actually make your org mode calendar sync 2-way with your outlook, gmail and Apple calendars. Because if it doesn’t that feature is completely useless to me. Same with LSP. That works great in every ide, but with eMacs you have to do custom configs and still half the stuff doesn’t actually work.

You have to do custom configs in emacs? Using eglot I just open a file and lsp features are available without me doing anything except having the language server installed.
