i’m using it for my work (rails, js and elixir).

it is in my opinion, the best text editor right now.

i was a long time vim user, but when looking at spacemacs, lots of good things surprise me.

You can customize theme for neotree :wink: spacemacs/doc/DOCUMENTATION.org at master · syl20bnr/spacemacs · GitHub

I would like to see pimp emacs with new modern ui :smiley:

I’ve tried all four customizations, still nowhere near acceptable for me, sadly…

I have long succumbed to the assumption that most programmers just don’t prioritize UI and syntax coloring :smile: I’ve had enough of high contrast syntax themes with vivid colors, but the low contrast ones such as Solarized and Zenburn are too… weird?

Lately I’ve been using Nord theme, which has a calm and cool atmosphere with it while having just enough contrast for highlighting, for almost everything (Vim, Atom, iTerm2, etc.) and I’m loving it. It’s just so beautiful. Sadly there’s still no Emacs/Spacemacs port for it.

You must be doing it wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

(That is on MacVim btw - I haven’t ported things over to SpaceMacs yet..)

I do not like treeviews at all, I do prefer find-file-in-project (or similar). Atom does provide similar functionality by hitting CTRL-P.

Huh, It’s Ctrl+t here and I’ve not changed that keybinding…

Which one would you choose, vs code or intellj?

Good point, but I use treeview on Atom for 1) creating new files or folders, 2) moving files around, 3) get a glimpse of the current state of working dir in git (Atom’s git integration is awesome). I think I’m not good enough at doing these things on either Vim or Emacs :smile: I’m currently trying not to depend on treeviews that much and instead embrace the power of ctrlp.

It’s both Cmd+T and Cmd+P here on OSX, I suppose it’s the same too on Windows and LInux.

Ctrl+p is the Command Pallette here on the default Windows install, so definitely not the same, how interesting…

Well, When I do write CTRL-P I do mean to press “CTRL” and “P”, when I write CTRL-SHIFT-P, I mean to press that three, so maybe thats where the confusion comes from
