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

How can I stop emacs from reusing existing windows?
Maybe this can help: https://github.com/karthink/popper

Window Management - share your display-buffer-alist
burly.el by u/alphapapa - might be an easier way to approach the current-window-configuration/set-window-configuration that Sacha has implemented

What's that email client doing here?
For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).
-
How to simply manage buffers?
Well, that is essentially what Burly does: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el

Trying to use emacs like a terminal multiplexer: Is there any way to restore window/tab layouts?
Install https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el
-
Bit new to eMacs but any tips to recreate a similar modern layout?
These features are especially useful with Burly: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el Because Burly can save and restore those kinds of windows, so you need not recreate them manually.

[ANN] New package: perject
How does it compare to packages like burly, which (to my understanding) provide similar features?
-
Spacemacs layouts feature in base emacs?
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but take a look at this: https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el
-
Is there emacs functionality similar to tmux's 'next-window' command?
I think you want "window configurations", which can be saved into registers. You might try tab-bar-mode for cycling through them. Or there's also https://github.com/alphapapa/burly.el/ . (I'd like something similar but haven't found something that matches what I want)

bufferlo: per frame|tab buffer lists
desktop is not a great solution for restoring buffers, because it generally only works for file-backed buffers. Instead, I wrote Burly to restore buffers, windows, and frames in mode-specific ways, on-demand using Emacs bookmarks. This is much more flexible and powerful than similar functionality in desktop.
