Doom Emacs Reviews and details

• M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)

  Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses. I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• From Doom to Vanilla Emacs

  Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Emacs 29.1 Released

  I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Not trying to start a rumble, but why emacs

  Try an emacs distribution and see if you like it:https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs. Source: 10 months ago

• Getting started with a doom-like emacs

  So on the GitHub for Doom, I see the visual has a file finder similar to Visual Studio Code on the left hand side. I don't wish to overly customize my Emacs without knowing what I'm getting into, but how could I go about installing and setting up that specific module on my Emacs? Source: 10 months ago

• I want to start making my console apps, I only have experience with game dev, where should I start?

  About the environment, well, VScode is unholy, obviously. But if you already know how to use it, that's one less thing to learn right now, which can be a very big plus. PyCharm might be an easy alternative to vscode. KDevelop is nice, too. The obvious choices would be either emacs or vim, with only the former being holy. Both will require months getting used to but are generally considered worth the effort. Emacs... Source: 10 months ago

• What should I use to take notes in college?

  Of course, the real power-user move would be to use Emacs with Org-Roam, but you have to be prepared to dive deep into the rabbit-hole. If you don't, it won't be worth it. If you do, you'll be handsomely rewarded. I know because I have, and I can highly recommend it if you like tinkering with and customising your tools. IMO, Doom Emacs is the way to go nowadays.

• IDE Preferences

  You will find that most people in HPC use emacs (I use this) or vim. Both require configs to optimize their use. However, you can get pre-built configs and I would suggest starting with these. E.g. doom-emacs (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) is a popular one for emacs. Source: 11 months ago

• Getting started with lisp

  There is Evil mode, which makes Emacs totally usable. Good setups are DOOM and Spacemacs, which are very suitable to us (n)vi(m) refugees. Source: 11 months ago

• Devil Mode for Emacs

  Also Doom Emacs, which is really stable (pins dependencies), fast and has great defaults: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Is it possible to use vim like navigation and control everywhere on the windows/mac applications?

  Also https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs is a config framework that sets everything up for you and makes heavy use of vi keybindings. Source: 12 months ago

• Great for developing on headless servers but not for main development

  Doom Emacs is 100% more simple than my nvim/tmux config, and I’d take elisp over vimscript anyday. Added bonus, Org mode is the best note taking app ever. Source: 12 months ago

• Using emacs in a way that fits its philosophy

  And if you just want Emacs to work and not have to worry about configuring things, I recommend a framework like: Https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs. Source: 12 months ago

• My Emacs eye candy

  You can try doomemacs if you want a solid starting base. (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs). Emacs is so idiosyncratic compared to a lot of modern stuff people are used to, starting with a base like this where you can read config may be a little easier than trying to do it from the ground up. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Just recently got a ThinkPad x270 for $90! I love it!!

  They have a really good explanation of what it is and how to install it here: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs! It actually includes easy to use CLI tools for managing you editor and fixing things when they break, and abstracts away from having to manage individual plugins (which can take forever and be way more work than necessary if you just want to Get Shit Done) by having groups of plugins ("layers") for...

• I left Emacs and Org-Mode 8 months ago and switched to more modern note-taking tools. But yesterday I came back to it, and now I feel at home.

  When some days ago I decided to use org-mode again, I didn't use Doom Emacs, and it was the best decision that I've made. Instead, I used Prelude, which is a very simple and powerful Emacs config, and it's much less opinionated than Doom Emacs and Spacemacs. Then I disabled the Prelude theme, and combined it with Nano-Emacs. Now I have a very simple Emacs config, which provides me with some of the best tools, and... Source: about 1 year ago

• FOSS alternative to VS CODE for Arch Linux

  You can find distributions with plugins for those editors, like Doom Emacs or space vim. These days, I enjoy doing (neo)vim configs (with lua). Both can use the language server protocol (with different plugins or natively in neovims' case) and so you'd get similar setups done like in code. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is Vim worth it in my situation?

  Doom Emacs is worth a look. It's emacs, but "evil mode" is switched on, so it uses the vim keybinds you've already been learning, and because it's emacs, it is very very cool. There are tons of emacs packages that I've started using since adopting Doom, like the git client magit; the whole system is absolutely amazing at teaching you new shortcuts and ways to use the system.

• How do you suggest me approaching Emacs coming from VIM?

  Can’t go wrong with Doom. Pretty easy to configure, and is specifically aimed at vim users. Source: about 1 year ago

• Emacs Is Not Just an Editor

  If you're a vim user but interested in trying out Emacs, I'd highly recommend Doom Emacs: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs. I had been using neovim as my main editor for a while, but the vim bindings (evil) in Doom Emacs are excellent. It was a lot to take in at first, so I went back to neovim. But I started using org mode more and more until I finally... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I'm new to emacs

  Basic for you may be more than what’s shipped with a raw emacs. Emacs does ship with basic Python and C modes. Maybe try Prelude or Doom Emacs? The latter includes support for the Language Server Protocol, which is the modern way of using syntax highlighting/correction/autocompletion. Source: about 1 year ago
