Coming from Vim, when I switched to Emacs, I found the starting aesthetic experience more than lacking (or, ugly). It took me some time (and a helpful HN discussion) until I found good themes and good plugins to make it look aesthetically pleasing (to my eyes, at least, after all people's tastes differ). If somebody is looking for a nice Emacs theme and feels that the OP is a bit too minimal, have a look at my Emacs…

What line numbering plugin is this? Looks very similar to vim numbers. I've been trying to find something like that for emacs for a while now. All I found wasLinum mode, which clutters the UI and doesnt give relative line numbering.

Oh, nice mode-line! I can't figure out how to get the theme from your repo, any hint?

I believe that is emacs powerline: https://github.com/jonathanchu/emacs-powerline

Nice!

For vim I like to use

    " remove the toolbar
    set guioptions-=T

    " remove scrollbars
    set guioptions-=L
    set guioptions-=r

Ì wonder if some Emacs people intend to migrate to LightTable in a few years?

I'd bet on a clang/gcc evolution, emacs has made adaptation/absorption a native specialty, LT will probably give it a push.

That fringe is neat. Anybody know if Vim supports something like that? I've never been able to make complete sense of vim's line length options. They never seem to work quite "right".

Hey, I'm using relative-number: https://github.com/terhechte/emacs.d/blob/master/plugins/rel...

It mostly works as well as in Vim, except if you're using Code folding, which confuses it a bit.

This is it, thanks. Beautiful, but too bad there is no easy way to deactivate it.

There are a number of hacks to do it as plugins, but I can never get them to play nice with other plugins :(
