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.

Installing emacs-29 on Mac M1?
I use https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds on nightly. It looks like they've added nightly 29 builds but haven't setup a corresponding brew cask.

Why is Doom Emacs So Slow?
Simplest way on macOS to get native compilation is my emacs-builds project. Emacs 28.x and later, including nightly builds all have native compilation, and are available as Homebrew casks.

Emacs freebie: macOS emoji picker
Doesn't work for me on emacs-build, should it work out of the box?
-
I am curious how many of you are using native compilation.
For my own purposes I maintain a build script and binary builds project, allowing me to install the latest nightly as a Homebrew cask.

Inconsistent Space Width in Emacs-plus 28
There was even an issue reported on my own Emacs builds, but I could no longer re-produce it my variant of the issue at all, and the issue eventually went away for those who’d reported it.
