(if you know, please tell me, I forgot where I heard this.)
When did I post this poll (in your local time)?
Curious for reasons. It's late afternoon for me.
I watched a several hour breakdown of all the problems with this movie on YouTube. And yet, I remember enjoying the movie itself. Overall I suppose that averages out to a hard Meh.
I've never quite grokked #CommonLisp. Today I'll #livestream my process of learning it.
I feel like I'm in a time loop.
4 years ago, when I first got into Linux, I saw that " #Emacs on Linux kernel with nothing else" post. I swear it's been posted at least once a year since.
Yet in the past few days it's blown up once again, as if nobody's ever heard of it an the idea was only ever a joke.
@wiersdorf why do people still say `:q` when ZZ is so much cooler? or ZQ to exit without saving. Come on.
Recently installed #gentoo and haven't wanted to bother compiling xorg. Thus am stuck in tty.
#emacs runs mostly fine except muh colors and icons are broken
@techflails based.
I've found that switching between evil and meow-with-hjkl is needlessly confusing, but I'm too addicted to remap then.
Doom is not better than vanilla, for new users.
Sooner or later (even assuming nothing breaks), you'll want to do something that doesn't have a "doom way". In my case as a noob I added the setting, but it would get clobbered by something else getting lazy loaded.
The further away we get from core, the more places for bugs. If you can deal with those, fine. My configuration is almost 2000 lines and something's always broken, but I just fix it or live with the jank.
But new Emacs users - especially refugees from non-extensible platforms - have nowhere near enough experience to work out these problems. Let alone navigate multiple layers of arcane or archaic documentation about something that, in the editor they're used to, would just werk.
So who _should_ use Doom #Emacs? Experienced users who've reached bankruptcy and are willing to maintain (as in, troubleshoot) code that isn't theirs.
And also, occasionally,
People who want only the base functions packaged with Doom, who intend to avoid elisp at all costs.
