🌐 Emacs has been a shining beacon of Free and Open Source software from the early 1970's and has grown to be a versatile set of development tools for all languages. This long history has given 🌐 Emacs the ability to interact with almost every aspect of your digital life.

🌐 Spacemacs is a community configuration providing a consistent and simple to learn approach to using all the features and power of 🌐 Emacs. 🌐 Spacemacs also integrates the raw text manipulation speed of Vim and multi-modal editing into the Emacs experience, enabling you to be even more productive.
