Steve Purcell discusses his Emacs journey, package maintenance, Emacs Lisp style feedback, and useful packages with Sacha Chua.

In this Emacs Chat, Steve Purcell shares how he got started with Emacs by using a Vim emulation mode, what it's like to give hundreds of package authors feedback on Emacs Lisp style, and how he's eventually replacing himself with Emacs Lisp (flycheck-package). He also highlights useful packages for managing buffers of version-controlled files (ibuffer-vc), working with lines if the region isn't active (whole-line-or-region), or maximizing certain buffers (full-frame).
