Buttery smooth Emacs (2016)
IMO any &quot;old enough&quot; and complex enough software suffer some kind of &quot;age&amp;complexity&quot; problems... No matter how you design it, unix choose simplicity and we see that today no real unix exists anymore (yes, they do exists per name, but in fact they do not follow unix principles), ITS, Emacs, LispM, Alto, ... choose integration and completeness and except Emacs they are essentially dead... Modern software try to choose modularity and if you find a modern complex enough software you know well how messy pachyderm is...<p>Personally I choose (recently) Emacs as my main computing environment because even with it&#x27;s many problems (there are and recent evolution solve some and add others) it&#x27;s the most effective computing environment I have ever found.<p>So in conclusion I dream a &quot;modern Emacs&quot; with an EXWM that play nice with any kind of GUIs (it gets a bit worse recently for floating windows or floating windows apps change for the worse I do not know exactly), I dream a damn coherent and complete MUA instead of my actual super-spaghetti-code mess mix of mbsync+notmuch+afew+homegrown crappy scripts + ... just to have a damn good modern and efficient email solution NO ONE, web(cr)app(y) UIs included seems to provide... I dream a GuixSD in org-mode in my own personal config so I have an &quot;my_desktop.org&quot; that contain anything from OS to Emacs config and I can export, change, replicate it in a snap... But that&#x27;s a bit of a dream for now. New nice stuff arrive (doom modeline is really nice, for instance) but change the entire ecosystem, perhaps re-writing it in Guile Scheme... Well It&#x27;s unlike to happen more than a timid POC by few smart guys...
