persp-projectile VS tabspaces

I am currently trying with perspective rather than persp-mode, as it segregates the buffer list as I like (#1 above). I've got projectile with persp-projectile, and that seems to give me what I need for project navigation (#2 probably, still not 100%). I get some help in my mode line for project focus (#3, partially).

Aye. I often have two interdependent projects I work on simultaneously, and I use a lot of persp-projectile (https://github.com/bbatsov/persp-projectile). I would love to try project.el but sadly it seems like it doesn't integrate with perspective.el yet.

I also use purely emacs for "commercial programming" (as you refer to it) and for managing multiple projects I use projectile + perspective + persp-projectile.

I had my own rolled version of this in my config until recently when I swapped to perspective and perspective-projectile.

tabspaces, the package that leverage vanilla emacs as much as possible by using tab-bar-mode and project.el added session/tabspace restoration somewhat recently and it works pretty well.

However, it seemed that the buffer save/restore was misbehaving. I created 2 PRs (one for save, one for restore) -- would you be able to have a look?

Hi all. I am using tabspaces: https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces

I tend to use a single emacs instance and single frame with multiple tabs as workspaces using tabspaces (I'm the maintainer). That lets you group buffers by tab (which means by window configuration), and there is an option to connect tabs with specific "projects", as understood by the built-in project.el. I tend to have a tab for my agenda, another for email, and then tabs for whatever projects I'm working on. I've been doing this for a couple years and it works pretty well for me but YMMV.
