> Doom Emacs' config loads faster than my hand-rolled one did.
Having browsed the Doom config sources the other day, they put a lot of effort to minimize startup time; there are various trick there that tune Emacs itself to start faster, and can be copied over to one's own vanilla config :).
Doom Emacs' config loads faster than my hand-rolled one did.
So in that sense, with Doom I get a smaller config to maintain, for something that loads faster, while still having a rich/coherent set of features for the stuff I do bump into.
