- experience is truly wonderful! It is hands down the best Emacs distribution
- that I have ever used. And it is <em>sooo fast</em>!</p><p>I used to own my own emacs config, which is something that everyone should do at
- some point to help you learn more about emacs, but maintaining your own emacs
- config is really hard. You have to:</p><ol><li>Fix any bugs that you have. <a href="https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/bug-hunter.html">bug hunter is really helpful for this</a></li><li>examine any cool packages that you may want to add.</li><li>Keep up to date with new packages that are probably better than the packages
- that you are using.</li><li>Update packages and deal with any new bugs they introduce.</li><li>Stay sane with all the complexity.</li></ol><p>I did the above for some time, and it is doable. I maintained my own Emacs for
- so long, because it was one of the few coding projects that I actively used and
- worked on. The problem was that my config’s stability varied week to week, and
- it made it harder to focus on actually helping <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>. At a certain point I
- decided that I would rather let someone else maintain a config, so that I could
- spend more time helping a free software project.</p><p>I also realized that since I use Doom emacs so often, and it is in need of
- <a href="https://liberapay.com/hlissner">funding,</a> that I should probably go ahead and chip in. I highly reccommend you
- to check out Doom Emacs, and consider donating. Currently the maintainer of
- Doom can only allocate 12 hours per week on the project, but hopefully the
- community will be able to support his work full time.</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
