Spacemacs as a Main Text Editor
09 Dec 2018 - Tyler
I had been avoiding Emacs for quite awhile because I was a little iffy about all the complicated keyboard shortcuts, but I decided to finally bite the bullet and downloaded it on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. I spent some time using the default emacs, and decided I wanted to find something a bit easier. After searching around I found Spacemacs, which everything I read said that it was a great alternative if you wanted the power of emacs without the hassle of writing all of your own configuration files.
It has turned out to be a great decision. I have been using it for all of my programming for the last two weeks and I love it. I highly recommend you trying it out if you are looking for a clean text editor that can help you in programming.
