Even managed to learn how to exit it.

I have evil mode and org mode installed, one because I will die before using their stupid-ass default keybindings, and the other because it looks rad.

Hmu with customization guides/resources/stuff I can look up and do with it that'll convince me to stay pls. I would have used doom but it was slow af on my PC, especially compared to vim.

      It's slow as shit on my hardware if I launch a file, I expect to be able to edit it on launch, not 10 seconds of progress bars after launch

          I'm on Arch. I'll look into the daemon and emacsclient, but just launching "emacs" or using xdg-open to open a text file in emacs with the spacemacs config is terrible. It opens instantly but I get progress bars and shit that take 5-10 seconds to finish up whatever they're doing.

          Doom was significantly faster fwiw but still slower to start, get into editing, and exit than my very barebones neovim config.

                  I've barely done anything yet, but just wanted to drop back here to say emacs --daemon and then launching sessions with emacsclient -nc is already INCREDIBLY faster, thanks a lot. This feels a lot more usable now. I'll hack away at the other stuff to make that behaviour the default for sure. Thanks again.
