+- this is a GREAT talk!
+- yes, really nice!
+- Every single point I'm like "yes! THIS"
+- This is as true of life as it is of emacs. Life imitates art imitates emacs...
+- Resonates with me from having used emacs for a 5+ years
+- Great talk!!
+- Can't argue with this great reminder that a messy perennially-evolving Emacs setup/config is the norm rather than the exception!
+- understanding source control is such a high bar for lay folk though, makes me think emacs by default setup version control for config files
+- Hmmm, *someone* could experiment with detecting what version control is available locally then using vc to automatically source control changes to our conf..
+- Also, over the last few years, some credit should go to Doom/Spacemacs for bringing new people into the fold that may otherwise not have given Emacs a second look with more the vanilla experience
+ - The more I think about it, the more having use-case packages with virtual machines makes a lot of sense. A sort of all in one package that can be used "out of the box" with an included guide.
+ - I like using starter packs with scratch init. It's a great way to know how far you can push emacs:)
+ - agree, I started with Spacemacs, then moved to Doom Emacs, and I just love it, I agree that starting from scratch was too much challange to start, but now I am not sure if I should try that path or is not actually worth it (considering that I understand much more about the editor and the programming language)
