On: Emacs Bedrock 2.0

[daitangio]

I am in my 10 years cycle in which I will go back to emacs. Emacs is so powerful but has a different terminology, and vscode was so easy and snappy...so I got accustomed to VSCode, but it is becoming slower and it has a lot of telemetry attached to it.

Is it time to give emacs another try

[indy → daitangio]

yes, stick with emacs even when the next shiny new editor appears and begins it's inevitable descent into becoming bloated and slow

[devnonymous → indy]

I agree, this is why I still use vi :-) Sorry couldn't resist

[indy → devnonymous]

Yes, the vi family of editors is just as valid a choice as emacs (and have arguably been the better choice for longer, it's just that personally I could never get on with modal editing)

Neovim has been game changing. Literally nothing I miss from VSCode or Jetbrains now

[maleldil → ncphillips]

I'm missing a good way to turn on/off plugins and settings depending on the directory. Eg turning off rust-analyzer on some projects, or using pyright instead of mypy as the LSP.

[speedster217 → maleldil]

Doesn't lazy.nvim have some support for that?

I use the LazyVim distribution but I remember something in the docs about per-repo plugin settings

You just don't know it yet. Emacs vims better. Source: I'm a die-hard vimmer.

[arnoooooo → iLemming]

Emacs + evil is the best Vim.

Real programmers use butterflies

[tmtvl → flexagoon]

Yada yada yada, M-x butterfly.

[tengwar2 → devnonymous]

Well, you know what they say: if Emacs is a religion, vi is a cult that is difficult to work out how to quit.

I came back to Emacs after a hiatus of several years. I'm sticking with Emacs for the foreseeable future hopefully.
