  🔔 Better solution for incremental narrowing in Emacs.

  

I have been using straight for a while now and I think it is great! The ability to lazy load everything by default does a lot to make Emacs snappier (or at the very least, faster to boot). Being able to pull packages directly from git (be it local or a forge) makes package development a lot easier. raxod has a lot of really sleek, modern emacs packages that I would encourage everyone to check out, spectrum[0] and ctrf[1] in particular are really great as well.

I had literally zero hiccups with packages, though I haven't even froze them, while kept upgrading every few weeks with straight-pull-all.

I think the other big contributor to my pleasant experience was that I've vetted and studied every package, before I've added it to my config and tried to figure out what would it offer compared to built-in functionality.

I'm programming for 40 years by now and primarily in Clojure for the past ~7 years (using IntelliJ/Cursive), so I guess that helped a lot too...
