doom emacs

go back

isn't it so interesting how there are so many text editors with so many configurations to justify them? not saying this in a condescending way but more as a inspired way. it really shows how no matter how perfect something is, there are always specifics that have people choosing or creating things to suite their own preferences.

i don't know much about emac but heard quite a bit about doom emac throughout the web. it intrigued me because the main ones i'm aware of are:

• vs code (the standard tbh)
• vim/neovim (terminal-friendly and quite popular)
• cursor (ai and the new shit right now)
• zed (ai hype)
• jetbrains (legendary suite of IDEs)
• atom (was huge with my college friends in cs; discontinued thought)

but emac, sublime, or even helix -- are a few that i see the community to advocate for and to be honest, i'm very curious on what makes them click for those people.

going to check it out and see what's up
