It's already quite stable even though it's an alpha version, possibly thanks to being implemented in Rust. I've been using it daily on my personal laptop since its release in April. No big problems, some missing features and tweakability though.
It looks great and has some really nice built-in apps (like cosmic term that is built off of Alacritty)
Written by a co-worker to help manage our databricks projects across clusters. Works wonderfully!!
Using Doom was valuable for me to see what Emacs can be. It is astonishing how much of an upgraded experience it is. However I felt I couldn’t understand where Emacs ended and Doom began, and the number of moving parts was making it hard to find solutions to problems.
For example, Doom keybindings for standard functions differ from normal Emacs bindings, so you can’t just follow any Stack Overflow post—the bindings won’t work. The fact that I didn’t even know why this was the case was getting to me.
I switched back to vanilla Emacs and, armed with the knowledge of what is possible, have been building up my config for a few weeks. I am making a special effort to avoid Evil Mode for a bit so I can learn all the bindings and make the decision for myself whether I like them or not. God Mode helps here as a more idiomatic alternative.
If your learning style is focused on knowing your foundation before building atop it, I’d recommend a similar path. I also have got a lot of value from sifting through others’ configs to pick up gems here and there. With literate programming it’s very common to find fantastically documented configs online.
spacemacs > custom config with evil, trying to create a slimmed down spacemacs > vanilla with god mode.
Generally use vanilla bindings most of the time (w/ God mode) but sometimes load up evil for the fun of it. Now, however, it's no big deal when I pop into a mode that doesn't play nice with evil bindings.. I just turn off evil and am good to go
I think you may just be lucky, they may dry bite, or maybe there’s some folks with antibodies. I have a 2-month-old recluse bite wound on my leg, it’s currently an open wound about 1.5 inches across. Been through debridement, 3 courses of antibiotics, etc. Appointment at a wound clinic next week to see if there’s anything can be done.
I too have been bitten multiple times in the past with no serious effect, just a black spot that healed slowly and left a tiny acne-like scar.
Sorry to hear about your leg!!
Me fear of them just increased dramatically. I thought I was immune but may just have been lucky, as you said.
