Dev? No thanks, I'm just a student xD. But it's just like a week since I've installed it. I've hopped from IntelliJ fam (PhpStorm which I love so much) and the reason was bcoz it's free and it's SO lightweight. My main machine has no trouble with IntelliJ fam IDEs but my RBP? well, it takes 2 minutes for it to JUST boot up xD.

Much to my astonishment how it is still warm in the Emacs world in compare to apps like Atom and Vim. As of yet it still has great support and the community is like heaven. Everybody supports noobs and it's customizable as hell. I just hooked right in like after the first hour.

BTW I use Doom-Emacs which greatly boosts the workflow and believe me even weeks of customizations cannot keep up the pace with that.
