After a couple of years using Spacemacs and a failed attempt at
switching to DoomEmacs, Im finally switching back to a vanilla
configuration! Be aware though this document is still very much a work
in progress document, lots of comments on existing configuration are
missing, and lots of functionalities are still not implemented. Im
still in the process of porting my [[file:spacemacs.org][Spacemacs]] configuration over here.
configuration! Why? Because I got tired of the framework getting in my
way when I wanted to do stuff. Im sure this is more applicable to
Spacemacs than DoomEmacs since the latter has nice macros written to
easily add new packages and configure them, such as ~package!~, ~after!~,
and others. But ultimately, I wanted to have a system I designed
entirely, with the keybinds I want, the packages I want.
Aso, why Emacs? You know this famous quote:
#+begin_quote
Emacs is a great operating system, it just lacks a good text editor.
#+end_quote
Its actually pretty true in my opinion. Emacs is basically a Lisp
machine with a default text editor, programmed with EmacsLisp, a
general-purpose programming language. Therefore, if you want to do
something in Emacs, with enough Elisp you can do it --- if its not in
Emacs already, that is.
