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.

Emacs Advent Calendar 6: elfeed-tube, popper, consult-dir, gptel and more
popper: Summon, dismiss or cycle through "popup" buffers. Like drop-down terminals (guake, yakuake etc) but in Emacs and for any buffer, not just shells.
-
Window Management - share your display-buffer-alist
Karthink's config, good integration with the popper package
- popper: Emacs minor-mode to summon and dismiss buffers easily.

916 Days of Emacs
I love emacs, but agree with many of your criticisms.
Emacs can be slow. I don't use LSP, so can't comment on that, but it's definitely slow on long lines with syntax highlighting.
I don't use TRAMP for exactly one of the reasons you mentioned: it can hang Emacs. I want to avoid that at all costs, because I pretty much live in Emacs.
Handling buffers is tedious, but you can improve that through various packages, like popper[1]
Depending on what problems you run in to and your skill level, it could be tricky to debug elisp programs. However, compare that to when you run in to some bug in VSCode... how are you going to debug that? You'll probably have to submit a bug report and wait for the developers to get to it (if they ever do)... how is that better than emacs?
Also, remember that you don't have to go it alone in troubleshooting the issues you run in to with emacs. There's a whole community ready and willing to help.
Despite the downsides of emacs, I still use and love it. Every editor has downsides, and emacs is no exception. Its positives far, far outweigh the negatives for me. There's just so much more that it can do than other editors, and it's far more customizable. I very much doubt I'll ever seriously consider switching to another.

Emacs 29 is nigh What can we expect?
Thanks for these tips! I'll explore tabspaces, apheleia, async-shell-command (and the Go lib) — all of those are new to me.
> Can you give a specific example of something you had trouble with?
I hoped to recreate multiple long-running terminal sessions in splits and tabs, similar to functionality I now use from:
Neovim (plugin): https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim
VS Code (built-in): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics#_managing...
I just found “popper”, which didn't exist the last time I looked. It seems like a pretty close substitute:

Wrangling windows
I find it pretty unintuitive how magit, vterm, rg, and other commands that want to open a new window will interact with a multi-window setup. Sometimes they'll use an existing window, sometimes they'll make a new one. I prefer having things be predictable: terminals always go here, search results go there, and so on. I was looking for ways to tame this, and I found purpose, popper, shackle, and of course, directly hacking on display-buffer-alist.

Strategies for *Warnings* buffer?
I use popper for buffers I only need to see briefly.

Tool for managing buffers and windows
I haven't used popper but its description sounds promising: https://github.com/karthink/popper

Configuring Neovim with Fennel

Why Fennel?
You don't need to transpile it if you use https://github.com/Olical/aniseed
-
TimL: Clojure-like Lisp dialect that runs on and compiles down to Vimscript
Something similar: Fennel (https://fennel-lang.org/) is a lisp that compiles into Lua, which nvim can use as plugins, so you can write nvim plugins in a lisp. Aniseed (https://github.com/Olical/aniseed) makes this really easy.

The extensible vi layer for Emacs
Just use vim. Yes, emacs has a lisp engine, but so does nvim[1]. Really, though, using vim properly means that it doesn't need to swallow the kitchen sink[2]. Just use vim.

lazy.nvim and Aniseed for config environment
I use Aniseed to write my configs in Fennel, and I can't seem to find a way to get Aniseed bootstrapped and managed by lazy. Folke has said that fennel isn't supported in issues about hotpot and tangerine, but neither of them particularly help me solve my issue

Introducing LazyVim!

Have you tried aniseed ?

Swapping to Fennel
Aniseed: mostly an environment, it does handle configuration. It adds a lot of clojure features (another modern Lisp) such as a module system. It does seem to be slower to startup though, but I really like how its module system works and still use it for that reason alone. There's not much boilerplate code, just add it to the header

[help] How to write nvim plugins with Fennel?
The easiest would be to use aniseed: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed, it has a bootstrap script that downloads all the needed dependencies: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed, it also adds some syntax niceties and testing support. Here's an example of a plugin: https://github.com/katawful/kat.nvim
What are some alternatives?
burly.el - Save and restore frames and windows with their buffers in Emacs
hotpot.nvim - :stew: Carl Weathers #1 Neovim Plugin.
.emacs.d - My personal .emacs.d
lightspeed.nvim - deprecated in favor of leap.nvim
frames-only-mode - Make emacs play nicely with tiling window managers by setting it up to use frames rather than windows
splitjoin.vim - Switch between single-line and multiline forms of code
bufler.el - A butler for your buffers. Group buffers into workspaces with programmable rules, and easily switch to and manipulate them.
conjure - Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)
homebrew-emacs-plus - Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager
lush.nvim - Create Neovim themes with real-time feedback, export anywhere.
solarized-emacs - The Solarized colour theme, ported to Emacs.
denops.vim - 🐜 An ecosystem of Vim/Neovim which allows developers to write cross-platform plugins in Deno
