+ GNU Emacs +

+

Platform: Windows, Linux, Mac

+

+ I have recently been trying Emacs because I have heard it is + highly configurable and has amazing features like + Org Mode and + Magit. My initial + impression was that it was extremely difficult to use due to its + unintuitive design and high reliance on keybindings. After + watching some videos by + System Crafters, I slowly picked up on these keybindings and how to go about + configuring emacs to my liking. I especially liked the + Emacs from Scratch + series which helped me build up my + personal emacs configuration. I have been using this configuration for a couple months, but I + have come to realize that there are just too many missing features + and issues that I kept having to find resolutions for. This is why + I decided to switch to + Doom Emacs, which is a distribution of Emacs that comes pre-configured with + stability, performance, and vim keybindings in mind. My experience + with Doom so far has been great. It works a lot more like what I + expected my personal Emacs configuration to be, but is much easier + to use and configure. Startup time is significantly faster, + editing files is faster, vim-like keybindings are already setup, + and it is functional out of the box. You can checkout my Doom + Emacs configuration on + GitHub. I have been using + Chemacs 2 + to easily switch between my personal and Doom configurations so I + can compare and make improvements. +
