@gear #Emacs of course. Not only for text editing, but also for things like note taking and browsing the fediverse.

@mitchmarq42xyz @zbecker I didn't know about that app launcher! I have been fiddling with Wofi and Fuzzel, but using Emacs as a launcher sound way nicer! Thanks

@colinsmatt11 @jamesp I didn't know about Match (I barely even knew about the existend of Hurd), thanks for the info!IIRC, if BSD didn't had those legal problems, Linux wouldn't even have been created. We could be living in a BSD dominated world. Although I think their architechture is similar to that of Linux, so maybe that wouldn't have many advantages over Linux?

@colinsmatt11 @jamesp Please share what you've found! I know that Lips Machines existed but it would be very nice to learn more about them.Not sure how viable it would be to recreate one, but the only way to be sure would be to try :P

@thees @gear I use TRAMP when I need to work on a remote Machine. Builint into Emacs, although debbuging it when something is not right is troublesome.When Emacs breaks (because I did something stupid) I usually fallback to VI to edit files. Very nice and minimal.

A while ago I had to use a Windows machine at work, and of course the first thing I did was install #Emacs on it. Most things worked surprisingly well, but I couldn't get #Mu4e to work. I also tried #NotMuch and #Mew, but I also failed to either install them or compile them.At the end I tried #Gnus, and everything worked out of the box. I didn't even need to install any GNU utility.Gnus is not the prettiest, and its terminology and configuration is confusing. But it is incredibly versatile.It has worked very nicely as an Email email client, specially to manage mailing lists. But now I also use it for things like Reddit and Hackernews.What are your experiences with Emacs mail clients under Windows? Is anyone using something other than Gnus?

@samebchase https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/6096u8/status_of_calfw/It seems the author doesn't have the time to continue maintaining it, but is willing to give the project to someone else.Unfortunately it is a pretty complex project, so no-one has stepped up.

@Alonealastalovedalongthe Lol hahahaUnfortunately, I think the problem come from Emacs itself. It is so customizable to the point that- some packages are very opinionated- there usually are several solutions to similar (yet not identical) problems- seemingly unrelated packages are sometimes incompatible with each otherThis makes getting a pre-configured Emacs that satisfies all your need rather tricky. With that said, I think it has gotten better. Doom Emacs sound exactly like a "canoe from someone more experienced". And fortunately, a recent trend in Emacs packages seems to use more of the builtin functionality as common interfaces, so different packages interoperate more easily without having to tweak them to cooperate.

@mretka I didn't even knew it existed. I'm currently using #denote. I might give #hown a test ride and see how they compare. But for what I can see, they look very similar.As for how I use it, I don't do anything fancy. I have some helper functions to create different types of notes: work meetings, book notes, research notes, code snippets. Nothing special. When I need to reference some past note, I just link it. When I need to search for something I forgot, I just use grep.

@Alonealastalovedalongthe Good! Then you should keep using Spacemacs! Emacs is to be used as you find it more comfortable.I think an issue with Emacs community in general (sorry if I'm too repetitive) is that opinions are can vary wildly. And some people have very strong opinions, sometime with abrasive attitudes, specially package authors. This means that sometimes sticking to someone's opinions you might dismiss some other package because the authors opinions don't align with what you have, and then you might miss very useful stuff!But at the end, if your current setup works for you, then it is already perfect.

@angelixd @acowley Eglot comes with an `eglot-rename` function. It is very nice because it changes all the semantic occurences of the symbol in the whole project, even if the files aren't currently loaded into Emacs.

@acowley @angelixd True, but the only server that I've tried that doesn't implement it is the Elixir one. Do you kno of any other ones without support?

@angelixd @acowley I'm not sure you need tree sitter for that, although it might give more accurate results. For replacing occurrences of the same word in text files (with no LSP) I use Meow Beacon mode. It works okay.But thinking about it a little it more, a tree sitter based solution might be more fun...

@mretka Nice, I've never used templates too much... I've barely used `org-insert-structure-template` , it auto inserts things like code blocks. Simple but I think it isn't very customizable. The other day I tried out Tempel. It seems very convenient, but I'm not sure if I will actually use it.Literate programming is very nice! I like it specially for small things like simple demos with DBMS.What kind of templates do you find useful?

@phundrak Unfortunately I think third party Discord clients go against Discord TOS, so I guess any attemp at creating one for Emacs will result in a Cease and Desist letter from Discord.

@phundrak I think TRAMP has support for Nextcloud. But I've never tried. Might be good, might be horrible.
