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

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.

Integrating the window manager and emacs
For (2), there's frames only mode that is commonly used by tiling wm users. I think this is the one: https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode

How to daemonize emacs as user service
Another tip to make it even better: enable frames-only-mode to let the (tiling) window manager handle the layout for you. With a completion framework like Ivy or Helm, it becomes incredibly flexible and productive.

How can I stop emacs from reusing existing windows?
What about https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode ? I like this on a tiling window manager, though I do still need to tweak the settings a bit (like mu4e with org-msg likes to have an extra frame after sending a message for some reason).

Emacs windmove integration with i3
That Emacs is still going to create new windows automatically for special buffers like help, man pages, or when running *-other-window functions. You can also make Emacs create only frames instead of windows, see: https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/9ih3fo/frameoriented_workflow/ frames-only-mode is awesome but there where some cases where it didn't do what I wanted (it reuses help buffers even when they are not in the same workspace). I found this solution to do just what I wanted with minimum effort but as always YMMV.

Popper - Tame the flood of buffers in Emacs
Looks good! I'm curious how I might use this with something like frames-only-mode https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode; or similar. Seems like this would help with these buffers coming up at disrupting the current window layout (window as in window manager) and then killing them. Feels like it would work quite well together....

"Tiling" windows to respect the 80 character line length rule?
Btw, check out frames-only-mode; I've been using it for quite some time together with popwin (for when I do want a popup-like window inside of Emacs instead of a whole new frame) and it works really well!
