.emacs.d VS crux

After a month or so, if you're still curious, try https://emacsrocks.com/

17 small length video tutorials of great quality (as informative as fun)

https://emacsrocks.com has lots of quick/digestable demos. This one is a favourite https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html (the ending is great, stick with it).

If anyone's looking for short demos, the https://emacsrocks.com shorts are great. My all-time favorite is https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html (well worth watching the ending).

Emacs Rocks! - A bunch of cool short videos that showcase cool tips and tricks.

We will mainly look at 3 packages: s.el, f.el and dash.el. Two of these packages (first and last) are maintained by Magnar Sveen, who are also known for Emacs Rocks and What The .emacs.d (which are still great resources for learning and finding inspiration for your Emacs configuration!). We will also look at ht.el. These packages are used a lot in many of the Emacs packages you use in a day to day basis, like lsp-mode and rustic just to name a few. As most of these already have tons of examples in their READMEs, my main goal of this article is to inspire you to check them out. Hopefully you will know of one new package after reading this article :)

Emacs Rocks!

Maybe you've seen them already but there's also http://emacsrocks.com/ videos, emacsconf too

For those still on 28, crux-rename-file-and-buffer does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point. This sort of command, that no other code will rely on, was never that important to get into core, and there's some merit in making people create the commands they needed. It's not like with the additions to subr and subr-x libraries (string-replace, string-search etc), which can't come fast enough.

Use vc-rename-file or crux-rename-file-and-buffer from crux

A similar functionality is in the crux package (see crux-delete-file-and-buffer).

How about https://github.com/bbatsov/crux?

Some packages I use for more effective text editing is crux for general text editing (video on crux), paredit for lisp editing and for org-mode:

I'll go with crux. It's not all about text editing, but it's got a lot of commands in dwim-fashion.

I learned the syntax of org-mode in an hour (maybe less), It has many superiorities to markdown (see this excellent essay). Emacs is a fully-featured tool, it's a lifetime of learning, just like all extremely powerful tools, you can see the blogs of many emacs experts like Bozhidar, Protesilaos, Karl Voit (to name a few) learning new features of Emacs quite regularly.
