Startup time of less than 2 seconds is not a problem because you should never quit emacs in the first place.

[@matejskulsky5746]

I mean... it is the fastest OS boot time Ive seen.

[@jsiegel62]

@dt: Terminal mode emacs instances can indeed leverage the server. Just use the -nw flag with 'emacsclient' (rather than 'emacs,' which is what you used in the demo). Greybeards like me (I started using emacs in mid-eighties) used it for years before there was a truly viable graphical mode. Terminal mode is still faster, and with a properly-configured terminal (or emulator) the fontifying ("faces") are just as effective. It's the "always-works" mode for emacs :-) Love the channel, keep on keepin' on :-)

[@micahrufsvold]

All hail the Greybeards!

[@naqdimuhammad]

Love you greybeards but just as a note there is this mode called TRAMP that allows you to modify remote files in an Emacs buffer.

[@backender]

Well, I must admit, terminal frontend is laggish if you have terminal (iTerm) fullscreen open and fontsize 10 which gives you 116+ rows and probably 200+ columns of text emacs must recalculate. I'm telling of course about Doom or Spacemacs whatever, and even if using very limited set of features on. But. I have all the world's power sitting in tmux+emacs, and the only one other app I have opened is Chrome :) Greybeards += 1

[@eduardourias8379]

100%. Plus all my dev interaction is always inside tmux which is far more worth than any of the GUI features for me.

[@ZenoLee0]

Running terminal-mode doom emacs in tmux with EVIL mode? Talk about playing Russian roulette with key bindings. I dare you to go one step further and run vim within terminal emulator.

[@learningbird9940]

It's more about the interfaces, not the system underneath them.

I was a vim user for quite some time but learned about doom emacs from DT when you started posting about it about a year ago. Had a rough start but now that I've got the hang of it It's awesome. Your videos were really helpful then to get me started and now I rarely use anything else. Everything except browsing and media is now emacs for me and rarely use terminal as well. Emacs (Doom) fulfills like 80% of my workstation needs

In many of your videos, I see you type the full path for programs that you have aliases for. At least in bash, you can prefix the program name with \ and it'll run the non alias command ;)

[@tralphstreet]

You can also use the "command" command, to run the actual command instead of the alias. Example: "command ls".

[@MH_VOID]

In ZSH, backslash escaping used to work, but then it stopped and now I just do for example `@ cat`, where I have ``` @ () { "$(where "$1" | tail -n 1)" "$@" } ``` defined in my .zshrc You telling me I should replace the where-tailing with `command`?

[@AmirHosseinHonardust]

Thanks DT! After 6 months of Emacs usage, I reached the same conclusion that first impression of Emacs is not doing it justice. It's like opening up xmonad, and tinkering with it for 10 minutes, and decide that it cannot do much. It just doesn't make any sense.

You had me in the last part. I'm switching to emacs because of terminal side. I'm switching from vs-code because of option ssh-ing to my machine and have just one IDE. (on site I'd use vs-code, ssh = nano (simple for small changes, annoying for complex changes)) I'm glad you mentioned that it is fine for tty only access.

[@kdemetter]

I can of have a weird masochistic love-hate relationship with emacs. I'll be drawn to using it for a while as my main editor, but then I'll get frustrated because I'm not good at using it. And then I'll be drawn to it again. Maybe I need to see a therapist. Whereas for Vim, we kind of have an understanding: used for limited editing , no fancy keystrokes, save and quite before anything serious might happen. Not as romantic but it works

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

You should have been using nano instead of vim. You don't require the latter for kid stuff like that. Always use the simplest tools you can afford to use for jobs, otherwise you're losing precious time learning what you never needed to learn. And let's not even start about Emacs ...

[@kdemetter]

@@exnihilonihilfit6316 No, because vim works which better from an ssh client than nano does, and I don't have to worry about installing it first, as it's on every server. And really it's not hard to use at all when you stick to the basics. Emacs is quite a different matter though, I agree

The 'emacsclient' thing I discovered quite by accident not long ago. That's when I realized that I was probably doing some of this stuff in an inefficient way. Since then I started studying Emacs a little more - now I consider myself a Vim refugee who now uses emacs exclusively. I still like my Vim keybindings but, hey, that's what Evil mode is for, right?

[@retropixel6801]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Emacs, is in fact, GNU/Emacs, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Emacs. Emacs is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Emacs, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is an Emacs, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Emacs is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Emacs is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Emacs added, or GNU/Emacs. All the so-called Emacs distributions are really distributions of GNU/Emacs!

[@debasishraychawdhuri]

I don't understand why people worry about the fact that it take two seconds to load. It's just two seconds. I don't run the server because I don't always use emacs and I don't want it to consume memory when I am not using it. I am perfectly fine if it takes two seconds to load, because it is just two freaking seconds.

[@xangelux]

You can execute commands prefixing with backslash so that bash/zsh doesn’t use alias

I use emacs -nw -Q when I am working as the root user. Emacs is capable of escalating to root to open files, which sometimes I do, but I wouldn't recommend using it because of emacs being open by design.

Thanks, DT, I've started with doom emacs for two weeks, but still, I think VS code with vim extension is good enough for my work

[@hansdampf2284]

now I know this is kind of special, what I find offputting on emacs is, that I can not escalate emacs to have root rights inside from emacs. Let me elaborate. In a normal use case for me, I use vim for editing files on my system (not in home folder), say in /etc. So normally I do 'sudo vim /etc/whatever.conf. Sometimes I forget the sudo of course, so I close vim and do sudo !! instead. So, how do you do that on emacs with emacsclient? I start it up with emacsclient, then navigate to the file with the internal browser, notice I need root rights, than run sudo emacsclient (and have this stupid terminal window next to the emacs window again), then navigate to the file with the internal browser again?

If using Doom Emacs, go into the init.el and find a section headed with ':term' And uncomment vterm. Uncomment eshell too if you want to play with it. Then run a doom sync to install those new plugins. The very first time you launch vterm, it will have to compile (takes a few seconds).

[@DistroTube]

Also, in your init.el, look for a section heading ':emacs' and look for a line for ibuffer. I have mine set as (ibuffer +icons) which will give you some nifty icon fonts inside ibuffer.

[@felipe5195]

True to that

[@tobykelsey4459]

So rather than launch standalone emacs which take 1.7 seconds, you launch emacs-deamon which takes 1.6 seconds and then launch the client which takes ~0.5 seconds. Makes complete sense. Who needs a fast and responsive editor anyway? Not emacs users clearly. It's obviously much better to have to parse and interpret untyped code with every editor command then use fast compiled code. Also much better to emulate some features of a window manager within emacs than used a dedicated program designed for the distro/environment. It looks like you also have to use emacs' idea of a terminal rather than a standard terminal emulator to iter-operate within the emacs "system". You have the added bonus of juggling interacting configs for multiple distinct tasks within one programming environment rather than logically separating them. The Unix/Linux philosophy: Write a separate program for each specific task and transfer data between them will well-defined interfaces. Lispitis: The compulsion to rewrite every program in a slow untyped interpreted language with non-lexical scoping and no interfaces. Occasionally afflicts novice coders. Also see "spaghetti code".
