Doom Emacs is a configuration framework for GNU Emacs that provides fast startup, lazy loading, and opinionated defaults built on Emacs Lisp. It serves as a foundation for a personalized Emacs setup with a vim-style modal editing experience via evil-mode.

Use cases

  • set up a fast vim-like editing environment in emacs
  • bootstrap my emacs configuration without starting from scratch
  • speed up emacs startup time
  • learn how to configure emacs lisp packages
  • get a reproducible emacs package management setup
  • use vim keybindings in a full IDE-like editor

When to choose

  • you want a performant, hackable Emacs config with vim modal editing
  • you are tired of maintaining a hand-rolled Emacs config from scratch
  • you want curated defaults plus the freedom to override anything

When to avoid

  • you want a plug-and-play editor with no configuration
  • you prefer vanilla Emacs or a lighter distribution like Prelude
  • you are not willing to learn Emacs Lisp to customize your setup
