I am new to emacs (I made a commitment to getting used to linux) & currently intimidated Can you help me out here?

Has anyone here configured Emacs for:

Shell-scripting
Markdown
HTML+CSS
Rust

Don't know where to start (I do know the bare-min basics on using Emacs as a text-editor)

I used to maintain my own Emacs config, but I switched to Doom years ago and never looked back. I appreciate the community aspect that lets it be better integrated and tested than I had time to manage on my own.

I use it as my primary environment for everything you mentioned and its excellent. The initial setup is fairly easy too.

And because it's Emacs, if there's something you don't like, you can change it! 😄

Hmmmm, I'll give it a shot😅 After a long while with DoomEmacs, I'll probably attempt at creating my own configs & share it here in this community.

Now that we're here, how about Spacemacs ?

Cool! Give it a go! Do you know about the Emacs Wiki? It was a pretty good resource many years ago when I had my own config. Not sure how it is these days though, but you might find some useful stuff there.

As for Spacemacs, I never got into it. At the time I found it more complicated than my own setup and a bit more confusing. I know a lot of people liked it though, and it was the first starter kit I'm aware of that really took off, so it might be worth a look!
