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.

How I use Emacs to write Perl
I use the wonderful shx package for making M-x shell a more usable shell, and I use shell-pop for popping up shell buffers that are automatically cd'd to the current files directory.

Term-toggle: Quake-style popup console for Emacs just got refactored
shell-pop let's you choose which side to split along. If you are ok at always using just one terminal, you might consider using shell-pop instead.

Auto riase/lower term/eshell
Is it a re-implementation of shell-pop?
-
I don't always loop in my eshell, but when I do...
Eshell running in the same Emacs instance as everything else. Coincidentally, I use shell-pop (bound to f5) to toggle between eshell and whatever else I was looking at.

Pop-up Terminal/EShell in Emacs?
kyagi/shell-pop-el maybe?
What are some alternatives?
burly.el - Save and restore frames and windows with their buffers in Emacs
vterm-toggle - toggles between the vterm buffer and whatever buffer you are editing.
.emacs.d - My personal .emacs.d
emacs-term-toggle - quake-style popup console for emacs
frames-only-mode - Make emacs play nicely with tiling window managers by setting it up to use frames rather than windows
eshell-toggle - Show/hide eshell at the bottom of active window with directory of its buffer
bufler.el - A butler for your buffers. Group buffers into workspaces with programmable rules, and easily switch to and manipulate them.
