dotemacs VS chemacs2

You can read my dotemacs here if you'd like I have isolated the packages with use-package deferred to when they're needed, added a couple useful functions, etc.

You can check it out here. I'll gladly take advice on improving it!

I have a setup with LSP-mode which you can check out. I've also written a snippet for a python config some time ago.

If you check out my dotemacs I have stuff I use for web development, I mostly use tide for JS and jQuery.

You can take a look at my dotemacson gitlab I have a LaTeX folder with custom latex classes. which are quite simple.

I've upgraded my config from elpy to lsp-mode but you can find a gist here, I hope it'll help you.

You could manage such a system with tools like Chemacs, https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2

Edit: Actually this may be what you want: https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2

https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

have a look at how https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2 does this sort of things.

I asked this same question a year and half ago and since that post I started reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen which was really helpful, I used Chemacs to keep my evil config around in case I give up. But I ended up dropping that config and I realized I wasn't really into modal editing. It took me one month to get used to my new config but that was worth it, everything in Emacs became consistent.

Perhaps the biggest game changer in my new init file is chemacs2. This allows one to choose one among many possible ".emacs.d" directories to use for the emacs that is being invoked.
