Name: Spacemacs
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)

Spacemacs is a new way to experience Emacs -- a sophisticated and polished set-up focused on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency.

I get a ton of joy out of writing code in spacemacs. it just feels fun! I have used Vscode, Zed and Windsurf in recency but nothing is more fun to me than spacemacs. Getting all your linting and LSPs in place has gotten much easier recently, but still can be somewhat annoying.

I write most code in spacemacs (I sometimes use vs code). Spacemacs is a great blend of "wheels included" and hackable. The leader mode paradigm paired with inline command discoverability menus makes it incredibly productive to learn. Its easy to become productive in the environment. Vs code is also great, and I have my instance of vs code setup to emulate as many of the spacemacs features as possible. Use vscode if you want your peers to look at your IDE and understand, use spacemacs if you want to feel like "you've been around this block and seen some things"
