That's so true! Emacs has got some modern and really well crafted packages during last decade (e.g. Magit, Org or Notmuch). It's a really interesting and vibrant platform right now. I have high hopes for lsp-mode.

Another package with great UI is calfw.

Of course, there were already plenty of great classic packages (e.g. Dired, Calc, Gnus or Eshell) and modes (e.g. AucTeX, SLIME, ESS...). But things are getting really good lately.

ELPA and use-package have also done away with lots of friction points when installing and updating packages.

Thanks for the calfw recommendation! I just installed it and it's really nice.

I do too, but I've had no luck at all with it so far.
