Re: "Someone on reddit shared his emacs config, I don't know how..."

In: u/betabube

I've tried using vi/m, neovim, or emacs as daily drivers. It's never really stuck for me. I prefer VSCode or even just notepad++ for most things.

My .vimrc is ~170 lines and i haven't changed it in years

As someone whose emacs config is over 8000 lines long, I can say it just grew over time.

— TKB's Emacs Lisp config file.

I add new things when I need them, and emacs makes a vey production environment for developing things in emacs lisp.

Someone on reddit shared his emacs config, I don't know how I should feel about as it has more than 5k lines. He must be either one of those 10x developers, if they exist at all, or someone who just grow into it. But I don't think it is that useful as it is supposed to be. If your init.el files has 5k lines, you must be doing something wrong imho.
