Clojurians Log v2

I've been using it for about 8 years and it's the only IDE/editor I use for Clojure (and more). I still like it's out-of-the-box setup and it provides most of the things I need. I'm a bit annoyed by it every now and then (stability, performance, etc.) but I didn't find a compeling reason to switch to an alternative.

A bit late to answer, but I still use Spacemacs. I'm one of those that uses it in holy emacs keybinding mode, and am not looking for vim keybindings as I don't like modalities. I have been tempted to roll my own config a few times, but the mnemonic bindings that Spacemacs adds are very convenient and I would struggle replicating that.

If your Spacemacs config is shared, I can take a look and see if I experience the same issue. Have you tried using spacemacs-base for a minimal setup? Its an option in the Spacemacs setup wizard. Move (or rename) your Spacemacs config and restart Emacs, Spacemacs will the prompt with 2 questions and create a minimal config (if you select spacemacs-base)

You can then diff the new .spacemacs config with your own Spacemacs config to see what extra things you want

Or you can wait a little while for my Neovim masterclass 🤣

@jr0cket I'll take you up on your gracious offer to review my spacemacs config, might me day though to get it presentable.

I have felt that way for years.

I am curious to understand how is Spacemacs is perceived as not growing as a project? Are there specific features missing? Spacemacs seems as least as active as other Emacs configs. What am I missing?

when i load my spacemacs it complains about missing company-mode, when i try to debug that, it often semi crashes. When i check the docs on this topic, it says company mode should be installed already as part of the auto-complete layer. In general, it's not that spacemacs isn't growing, i don't use some parts of it (email, games, etc..) and i wish i had 2 magic months to isolate the parts i like and just move them to something more minimal.
