emacs-anywhere VS emacs4cl

Sure, but there are things you can do to improve this. Browserplugins and others. See for instance:

Someone mentioned Emacs Anywhere in a different thread. Looks like it could apply to your use case.

You may also be interested in Emacs Anywhere, which lets you open an ephemeral Emacs buffer to edit text that then gets copied into a text box. This bridges the interface of non-Emacs applications you have to use with the editing experience you've come to expect from Emacs.

As always, the Emacs experience is better: https://github.com/zachcurry/emacs-anywhere

Yes, indeed. The output of git diff 0.1.0..0.5.0 shows that the bulk of the bloat comes from customising rainbow delimiters to show colourful parentheses.

Here's a good guide: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

And the excellent guide to Emacs and SLIME too. https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

In addition to the great resources mentioned, see this guide: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl I like it with one difference: keep the Emacs menu bar and use it to explore the available commands.

Hello! Thank you for referring to my Vim + Slimv guide. I have, in fact, two guides to set up a Common Lisp programming environment from scratch:

For Vim: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

For Emacs: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

PPS: There's a much more well maintained and more widely used .emacs script at emacs4cl, plus a number of other resources at awesome-cl#emacs!
