A starting point would be just put this in ~/.emacs.d/init.el: The hardest part would be figuring out which package is responsible for which functionality. Thanks to use-package (that Spacemacs also uses), most of the extracting would be just copy and pasting things from Spacemacs repo. I found Spacemacs to be great starting point for someone new to Emacs, but after a while I highly recommend extracting your workflow from Spacemacs to vanilla Emacs. I'd probably actually write plugins for ViM if it used Lisp and in a way I'm kind of glad I don't want to learn ViMScript as I've already spent so much time over the years playing with my vimrc as it is.

Everyone loves VS Code that's for sure, so they must be doing something right! I enjoy the ViM mode in IntelliJ which I assume is similar to the one in Visual Studio Code, but mostly I prefer the terminal. Being able to restart iTerm2 for updates and maintain all my sessions, no rage after accidentally quitting a session, and writing short and simple tmuxp yaml files to launch a whole environment with one command is really awesome.

Tmux plus tmuxp was a much greater improvement for me.

Your mileage may vary but if you're already editing quickly modally and have all the features you like in Emacs I'm not certain there's much upside to learning how to do a lot of the same stuff the Emacs way.

That being said, I tried learning regular Emacs to see what the fuss is all about and much prefer modal editing to pressing control constantly even with caps lock mapped to control. I'm not sure if SpaceMacs uses evil but it's a similar concept. ViM user here who used SpaceMacs for a while for Clojure development. Some people even use it for keeping track of finances, for drawing diagrams, for creating slideshows, etc. My Emacs configuration is something I cherish and it's a joy to use everyday.Д«esides programming, I use it for taking notes, a todo list, a journal, etc. I've used both editors myself, really the best way to get what I'm saying is to use Emacs for a while until you get comfortable with it. VSCode isn't the successor to Emacs or a modern version of Emacs - it's just VS Code. You're able to change every single part of the application - VSCode and other editors don't hold a candle to the configuration of emacs. init (I got this from someone on Hacker News) - it's better to think of Emacs as basically a framework for text editors. In emacs, that would just be a couple lines of elisp in. that's a lot of code and things to do to get a hello-world application working in VSCode. Now of course in VSCode you can create your own extensions and load it into the program to add your own functionality - but the barrier to entry for any editor (besides Vim) is much higher than Emacs. init file to modify existing functions / create my own. Rather than having to rely on other people writing a function I need, I can just hack away on my. init file? In one file I can load all the plugins I want and write custom code for added functionality.
