So you mentioned that by uncommenting the language modes in the init.el file added -Syntax highlighting- and you're certainly not wrong by saying that. I wanted to leave a comment here for potential doom-emacs or Spacemacs users to add that emacs language modes do a lot more than just add syntax highlighting; you have emacs macros added in and shortcuts to make using that language so much easier. For example in my python-mode I can C-c C-P to start a python process in a new emacs buffer and can say run the file I am viewing to that buffer by pressing C-c C-l etc. These emacs modes are fantastic and easily extendible. I migrated from Vim to emacs as I needed to write prolog and discovered the prolog-mode for emacs was the undeniably the best environment for prolog.

I have a monitor without a stand and one with a stand.
The one with a stand hurts my eyes when sideways because of the polarized filter.
I hate my life..
The only monitor I have suitable for code is one that hurts.
Landscape is laughable for code, unless you like to write long lines.
I'm a web dev and I never have two files open in vertical split (or split at all), and HTML like files really benefit from the portrait display.
Especially with a lot of nesting.

Quick question, you mentioned at the beginning that you used to use Vim before. How fast is doom emacs compering to your Vim setup? I like Vim mostly because it lightning fast and and very powerful the same time. Most people who stuck on Vim(from what I read) can't switch to other text editor because of response time. Thanks!

I also use caps lock as a control key (for about 25 years now) and I also bind ctrl-; as my completion key (modified hippie-expand on the home row). I've been programming with GNU Emacs since shortly after it came out in 1985 and I haven't had any carpal tunnel or RSI issues.

Couple of notes on editing -init.el-. In VIM, you can type x x to delete the 2 semi-colons without going into insert mode. Also you can stay in emacs after changing init.el by typing -:doom/reload-.

Why are you entering insert mode and deleting you know you can just press x that will delete a single character without having to go into insert mode.

Keybindings are customizable. That's the whole point. No need to change distribution to get a better suited to yourself standard keybindings.

newb question (never used emacs and I use nano cuz I still fear Vim), Doom Emacs could be used some other wm manager (like i3 for example)?

Idea: a -for windows idiots- installer that you can download and run and it installs doom emacs without needing to use the terminal/PATH.
