Unite, fireplace, rainbow parens, vim-sexp and vim-surround are all available in Emacs with its own and better implementation. If you want Unite equivalent, check Helm which is created before Unite and is still actively maintained. See one of Helm package demo: http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-projectile.html http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-projectile.html. The same for rainbow-parentheses. Actually, Emacs got something better than rainbow-parentheses for visual aiding parentheses: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/1173 https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/1173 For proper sexp manipulation, check this guide with great animations: http://danmidwood.com/content/2014/11/21/animated-paredit.html http://danmidwood.com/content/2014/11/21/animated-paredit.ht... For Clojure, in Emacs you got a debugger than can step expression by expression: http://endlessparentheses.com/cider-debug-a-visual-interactive-debugger-for-clojure.html http://endlessparentheses.com/cider-debug-a-visual-interacti... If you want to know features for Clojure that already configured in Spacemacs, check its Clojure documentation: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/contrib/lang/clojure#features https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/contrib/la... You got all IDE features like refactoring and jump to symbols More demos: Here are some nice features that Emacs and its 3rd packages provide: - Powerful automatic indentation with aggressive-indent: https://github.com/Malabarba/aggressive-indent-mode(scroll https://github.com/Malabarba/aggressive-indent-mode(scroll down for demos). It does not only indent the current line, but the whole semantic context around your cursor. - Live grep:http://tuhdo.github.io/static/live_grep.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/live_grep.gif - C/C++ refactoring with built-in parser: https://github.com/tuhdo/semantic-refactor/blob/master/srefactor-demos/demos.org https://github.com/tuhdo/semantic-refactor/blob/master/srefa... - Lisp Code reformatting: https://github.com/tuhdo/semantic-refactor/blob/master/srefactor-demos/demos-elisp.org https://github.com/tuhdo/semantic-refactor/blob/master/srefa...). As far as I know, there's none Lisp code reformatting outside of Emacs. - Access to a list of project with a few key strokes: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-switch-project.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil... - Quickly access any file in your project, as large as Linux kernel, instantly, regardless of where you are in the project, and within a few keystrokes: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-find-files-1.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil...) - Jump to any file depends on context, even if the file path is in a plain ASCII text file: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-find-files-dwim-1.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil... - Copy files from anywhere to anywhere: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-find-file-copy.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil...) - Delete files anywhere; files are always at your finger tip to do whatever with them: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-find-file-delete.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil... - Switch between other files with same names but different extensions: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectile-find-other-file.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/helm-projectile/helm-projectil...). Work not only for C/C++ but other languages, and is customizable. You don't have to configure anything, like adding include paths for the command to search. Everything is automatic. Just use it as it is. - Jump to tag definition, from its own parser or external parser like GNu Global: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/helm-gtags-jump-dwim.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/helm-gtags-jump-dwim.gif - Jump up to parent: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/senator-go-to-up-reference.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/senator-go-to-up-referen... - Do you like outline tree?: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/sr-speedbar.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/sr-speedbar.gif - Interactive outline tree: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/helm-semantic-or-imenu-with-struct.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/helm-semantic-or-imenu-w... - Easily move back and forth using the interactive outline tree: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/part3/helm-semantic-or-imenu-2.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/part3/helm-semantic-or-imenu-2... - References retrieved from its Emacs internal parser: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/semantic-symref.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/semantic-symref.gif - Beautiful compile output: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/compilation-compile.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/compilation-compile.gif - Frontend support for GDB: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/gdb-many-windows.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/gdb-many-windows.gif - Code completion: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/semantic-boost-demo.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/c-ide/semantic-boost-demo.gif - Open man page for symbol at cursor: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/part3/helm-man-woman.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/part3/helm-man-woman.gif - Emacs open 39MB C file: http://tuhdo.github.io/static/performance.gif http://tuhdo.github.io/static/performance.gif - Emac opens multi-gigabtye file: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VLF http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VLF Note that in the demos you may see me type in the commands. You can think of it like the start menu in Windows, but actually those commands can be executed quickly with a shortcut. I type in the commands for demonstration purpose to Emacs users. Those demos are just tip of the iceberg.
