Doom emacs + Evil is basically free in terms of config time and it’s wonderful.

Another happy doom user (and formerly unhappy vim configure-er).

Although the objection I see is more like "Why bother learning to use emacs/vim when VSCode is free and does everything I care about and my friends use it?" Which, to be fair, the emacs/vim learning curve isn't for everyone. I sometimes wish they had less "leet programmer" cred, though, since what is cred to the leet programmer is (in this case at least) stigma to the majority.

I want to like/use Doom (also to be able to recommend it to to new-comers), and it neatly solves many "beginner issues", but I can never get it to do code-folding like in my own emacs-config.

Specifically, I'd want these 3 types of folding in the same buffer:

- "Chapter & Block-based", like in `org-mode` - "Arbitrary lines folded", like in `vimish-fold` - "Semantic folding, any level", like in `hideshow`

(Un-)folding should always be done with TAB, only for folding vimish-style, initial visual selection is needed.

When doing that in DOOM, I always end up with visual corruption, when some of fancier default eye-candy is switched on and then I use several types of fold in the same document.

I think, I saw code-comments, that there is an all-encompassing folding function in the works, but not yet finalized/activated. Hmm, maybe I should give it another spin, last time was 5ish months ago.

I haven't tried this one but I tried SpaceVim which threw error messages and was slower to start than VSCode --> I switched fully to VSCode.
