Making Emacs feels less 80s

• nano-emacs

  55 2,474 3.0 Emacs Lisp

  GNU Emacs / N Λ N O - Emacs made simple

That said, modern distros like Doom and SpaceMacs successfully make Emacs look more "modern". Also see the excellent NANO Emacs theme (https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs).

• Killed by Google

  2,305 2,359 7.0 TypeScript

  Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

If I bought a piece of software in the 80s, it worked forever.

If you want a "modern" version of Emacs that "works" out of the box, I would recommend using a distribution like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. I personally have never used Spacemacs as a daily driver, but it seems to look more modern. Doom Emacs is faster, and more minimal. Depends on your choice.

• spacemacs

  A community-driven Emacs distribution - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim!

• svg-lib

  17 328 7.6 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs SVG libraries for creatings tags, icons and bars

I'd say the best candidate is probably svg-lib, but it will take some time before it's properly adopted (if it's ever adopted).
