Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)
Run emacs -q (no add-ons loaded) and it should be a lot faster than VS Code. Which means that a library you loaded is the culprit. Things like Doom Emacs are notorious for unexpected slowness since they're not very well put together and load questionable libraries.
In the unlikely case where emacs -q is still slow, use Emacs Mac Port (https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/releases...).
This is at least 2x perceivably faster than VS Code on Mac.

indent-bars: fast, configurable indentation guide bars using font-lock and stipple patterns
Important note: I learned that apparently not all Emacsen properly support :stipple (despite happily accepting it as a face attribute). Linux/UNIX is safe, emacs-mac supports it on MacOS, but Windows may not at all (untested). Also, terminal emacs does not (to my knowledge) implement :stipple. Let me know how you fare. Update: Pure GTK emacs apparently does display stipples, but incorrectly (as an inverse mask).
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?

Way to make Emacs feel smoother?
I don't use macOS anymore, but the best port I found for speed was https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport

Change the emacs theme to light/dark according to the system theme
There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
You can install emacs-mac by homebrew (see https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport). $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport $ brew install emacs-mac This emacs contains mac-win.el. Mac Auto ASCII mode in the mac-win.el automatically selects the most-recently-used ASCII-capable keyboard input source on some occasions: after prefix key (bound in the global keymap) press such as C-x and M-g, and at the start of minibuffer input. This function is very useful. I guess you can read Japanese, please visit Japanese setup page of my website (https://taipapamotohus.com/post/japanese\_setup/).

[auto-dark-emacs] - An automatic theme changer for Emacs on macOS - UPDATED!
For what it's worth, the emacs-mac port provides a mac-effective-appearance-change-hook hook to do the same thing as the System appearance change plugin. I use it like this:

Is the FSF Fighting the Previous War?
>the license explicitly allows you to fork Emacs
There already is a fork of Emacs for Mac, which has been going strong for 12 years:

emacs-groundup
7 - Meow: Meow is great. I switched from evil a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. I also dropped general.el for bind-key.el, which is included with use-package (which I see you are using anyway). You can look at my setup of meow here and a more generic setup of keybindings here. I haven't had any trouble with using this instead of general.

tab-bar-mode: How to change tab bar appearence?
Another thing you might consider (this depends on how many tabs you usually keep open, etc.) is not displaying tabs in the tab-bar at all (setq tab-bar-show nil) and displaying them in the echo-area instead. I use a combination of https://github.com/fritzgrabo/tab-bar-echo-area and https://github.com/qaiviq/echo-bar.el to give a consistent but very unobtrusive presentation of the tabs in the echo bar on the bottom right. You can see that in this image -- and my config for it is here.

Has anyone ever written a research paper by only using org-mode?
Yes. It’s not a problem (it’s also easy to write papers in markdown using markdown mode). If you want to see some of the packages involved look at my setup-writing.el file in my config.

Writing papers/thesis in org with a barebone config
You can take a look atmy setup and see if any of it looks helpful. The relevant modules for you will be:

How to C-x b but to related buffers only?
Yeah +1 for perspective.el. I use it with projectile to manage projects and have discrete buffers for different projects. You can look at my setup if it is helpful here.
-
Bikeshedding Friday: How do you organize your init file?
I also think a multi file modular setup is the way to go. I do this in tandem with use-package statements and it works well and is relatively easy to troubleshoot. You’re welcome to see what might be useful to you from my config: https://github.com/mclear-tools/dotemacs

New grad student, new to emacs, hoping to use for academic note taking/writing, completely lost on where to start
My dotemacs is geared towards academic work. You're welcome to take a look.

Projectile for research and writing?
I use projectile, along with persp-mode, and eyebrowse, to handle all my writing projects. Here's the relevant part of my config
-
tmux-like sessins in emacs
I use a single-frame but multi-project approach via projectile + eyebrowse. You can see the config here. It is partially adapted from code in spacemacs. I had formerly used different frames per project but found this unwieldy. And now I have dedicated "spaces" for terminal, agenda, notes, etc.

Spacemacs dilemma (mostly a rant)
I used spacemacs for about a year before giving it up and going my own way based on similar kinds of frustrations. I found it relatively easy to pull out (or use as inspiration) the parts of spacemacs that I liked. You can see the current version of my config using evil and space as leader here. I think Doom is good, but I like maintaining my config and found it unnecessarily complicated for what I needed. YMMV. I'm actually in the process of simplifying my config now with features from nano-emacs and using icomplete-vertical/consult/embark. We'll see how that goes.
