bbatsov has done so much to develop Emacs into a modern IDE. CIDER, Projectile, Prelude, multiple themes which are easy-on-the-eyes ... his work is truly invaluable.
bbatsov’s contributions to vim and emacs packages are huge. I must use over a dozen of his packages regularly. To say nothing of Ruby tooling etc...
If you are reading, thank you so much!
You're welcome! :-) Thanks for the kind words!
I've met him in person a few years back in a Linux event, he is a genuinely very nice person, very generous with his time!
Maybe start an Thank you issue on one of his repos and pile on there?
People can also sponsor him: https://github.com/sponsors/bbatsov
I hope more fancy features keep getting enabled by default or made more discoverable, I always find some hidden gem like image support in REPL buffers when randomly browsing in the docs. (That one has a reasonable reason for being off by default in its current form though)
