What is your favorite Text editor for programming (IDE):

@freemo well, spacemacs was the closest to doom-emacs...

@freemo I don't have much experience with Spacemacs, I installed it once it was slow as hell so I went back to my own evil-emacs configuration. Doom is faster, everything just works. It really has a great out-of-box experience with pretty much IDE like "install plugin X" and done configuration. Workspaces and projects are awesome... and the splash screen is way cooler

@zen3ger I might give it a try. Does it do what spacemacs does and popup the hotkey continuation choices as you type it so you can learn as you go?

@freemo I now use doom emacs, after having started with spacemacs. I found spacemacs to have long load times and unstable dependencies. Upgrades in spacemacs were always a gamble.

The key bindings are similar. No matter where I go next with emacs, I will almost certainly take the key bindings with me.

@wes I might need to give it a try. I do sometimes notice that spacemaks might take a second to respond to something. But it hasnt been a problem yet. I could see it getting annoying though.
