I put a link to that (and Spacemacs and Doom Emacs) but it seemed appropriate (and consistent with the other editors) to explain the most "vanilla" way as the primary method. My personal list: • evil • rainbow-delimiters • company • cyberpunk-theme • nyan-mode :nyantocat: • aggressive-indent Obviously not all of these are "essential" 😆 And I'm probably missing some that I shouldn't be.
I have been doing some "truly essential" config myself for a while, my current packages are • clojure-mode • cider • paredit • toggle-test • clj-refactor • magit • projectile • company • docker (bc every project I work has a docker-compose.yml setup)
no themes, only
