That's so true! Emacs has got some modern and really well crafted packages during last decade (e.g. Magit, Org or Notmuch). It's a really interesting and vibrant platform right now. I have high hopes for lsp-mode.
Another package with great UI is calfw.
Of course, there were already plenty of great classic packages (e.g. Dired, Calc, Gnus or Eshell) and modes (e.g. AucTeX, SLIME, ESS...). But things are getting really good lately.
ELPA and use-package have also done away with lots of friction points when installing and updating packages.

https://github.com/raxod502/el-patch 

Why does it exist
Emacs provides a comprehensive set of customizable variables and hooks as well as a powerful advice system. Sometimes, however, these are not enough and you must override an entire function in order to change a detail of its implementation.
Such a situation is not ideal, since the original definition of the function might change when you update Emacs or one of its packages, and your overridden version would then be outdated. This could prevent you from benefitting from bugfixes made to the original function, or introduce new bugs into your configuration. Even worse, there is no way to tell when the original definition has changed! The correctness of your configuration is basically based on faith.

https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs#readme

[2019-12-24] (Officially) Introducing M-EMACS ;) /r/emacs [[emacs]]

It's the end of 2019, I realized that I have worked on [M-EMACS](https://github.com/MatthewZMD/.emacs.d) for nearly a year now. M-EMACS is my personal Emacs setup and configurations, I have been spreading it for some time in comment sections and received some positive feedback from the community, but somehow I never bother to write a post to officially introduce it ;)

So here I am.

Besides some Emacs' killer-features nicely configured out-of-box for you (e.g `lsp`, `ivy`, `company`, `erc`, `eaf`, `mu4e`, `tramp`, etc.), M-EMACS README is aiming to be one of the best `org-mode` Emacs config available. While heavily using `use-package` in the code, and providing a link with a one-sentence description to each package it uses, it also has a little `Prerequisite` note for any *heavier* packages that require more setup than just copy-and-paste elisp code ;)

With [M-EMACS](https://github.com/MatthewZMD/.emacs.d), I am also exploring a new way to organize Emacs config files. AFAIK, most of the people (who cared enough to heavily organize `.emacs.d`) in the community either put their config in a subdirectory called `lisp` or `elisp` with many files like `init-xx.el`, or they put their entire config in a **HUGE** `.org` file with numerous `#+BEGIN_SRC` and `#+END_SRC` blocks, and use `org-babel-load-file` in `init.el` to load all the elisp code on startup. The former is well-organized but can get complicated and frustrating for anyone other than the owner to navigate through the code. The latter is much more user-friendly, it's so much nicer to navigate through a Github README page and really helpful to any Emacs user who just wants to quickly find a config snippet for a particular package. However, the downside is that `org-babel-load-file` can get *pretty* slow sometimes, wasting a lot of startup time.

[M-EMACS](https://github.com/MatthewZMD/.emacs.d), on the other hand, combines these two approaches together: all elisp code is organized in an `elisp` folder, with some `#+INCLUDE` statements in an `org` file, elisp code are populated into a Github-friendly README with a single command. Below is the snippet from the [About README](https://github.com/MatthewZMD/.emacs.d#about-readme) section:

> This README is originated from `init.org` that is generated using `M-x org-gfm-export-to-markdown`. Every block of code is generated through this function - it exports the section of code from the `elisp/` directory. You will not see their presence in `init.org`.

The result is an organized, detailed and user-friendly README with super-fast startup time, best of both worlds.

Anyways, enough babbling, feel free to [check it out](https://github.com/MatthewZMD/.emacs.d) during this holiday season :)

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/emacsclient-Options.html 

‘--alternate-editor=command’
    Specify a shell command to run if emacsclient fails to contact Emacs. This is useful when running emacsclient in a script. The command may include arguments, which may be quoted "like this". Currently, escaping of quotes is not supported.

    As a special exception, if command is the empty string, then emacsclient starts Emacs in daemon mode (as ‘emacs --daemon’) and then tries connecting again.

    The environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR has the same effect as the ‘-a’ option. If both are present, the latter takes precedence.

Important: you may encounter errors after up/downgrading Emacs. Emacs bytecode is generally not forward compatible. You will have to recompile or reinstall your packages to fix this, i.e.

    doom build, to rebuild all your installed packages,

The included pulse library provides functions to flash a region of text. The most useful general application is to flash the line the cursor is on as a navigational aid or accessibility feature.

Emacs

I use Emacs as my text editor (and much more besides).

GNU Emacs […] is a sort of hybrid between Windows Notepad, a monolithic-kernel operating system, and the International Space Station. – Dear Google Cloud: Your Deprecation Policy is Killing You

It’s a bit tricky to explain, but in a nutshell, Emacs is a platform written in 1976 (yes, almost half a century ago) for writing software to make you more productive, masquerading as a text editor.

– Dear Google Cloud: Your Deprecation Policy is Killing You

Why Emacs

It took me a lot of perseverance to get into emacs. I love it now though. The reason I got into it again (I’d dabbled a long time ago, before subsequently using vim instead) was I was looking for a libre alternative to Workflowy. This brought me to org-mode and then I also came across spacemacs, which combines emacs with the vi-like keybindings that I was very used to. It also has a very nice default look and feel and plenty of useful features configured out of the box. So I gave emacs another shot.

I persevered this time because I really want to use libre software wherever possible. Emacs must be one of the longest running free software projects out there, and I feel it will exist for a long time after other editors have come and gone. It is really hackable and has a great community of people hacking on it.

I would never make the claim that Emacs is better than any other editor, there are many good ones out there, and I think it really depends on what you want and why. But I can quite definitely say that after using emacs regularly for a few years, I absolutely love it, and can’t imagine myself using anything else anytime soon.

One of the delightful and surprising things about Emacs, as you get to know it better, is the depth of customisation which is available. Emacs can be a completely different editor for different people and for different purposes. Being able to tweak things on the fly and try them out before you commit to them, or even as a temporary fix to solve the particular problem you have right now, is empowering.

Tutorials

I can’t recommend a good tutorial as I never really did one end-to-end, just dipped into different things here and there.

Bit I think series of short videos can be better than text tutorials for this, sometimes.

I haven’t watched this series, Using Emacs, but I see it linked a lot, so it might be useful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=49kBWM3RQQ8&list=PL9KxKa8NpFxIcNQa9js7dQQIHc81b0-Xg

This one is quite good for org-mode, not least because he sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQS06Qjnkcc

Do you spend more time configuring Emacs than doing work with it?

Not gonna lie, I do probably spend more time fiddling with Emacs than I really should. But I enjoy it!

I also feel like it’s an investment that’s paid off - understanding how it works has let me do more with it, so it’s probably been a net gain overall.

And unlike other programs that might just be setting options etc, I feel like at least when I’m tweaking it I’m learning skills that might be applicable elsewhere. (In that elisp is kind of coding at times.)
