I have been using Emacs for 15 years. In that time, I have had large configs, spacemacs, doom, evil/non-evil. This is my current configuration. Package installation is managed via a home-manager nix flake.
I am surprised that I was able to remove everything surrounding vertico and go with fido-mode easily.
I have a parallel configuration that removes lsp and uses eglot, but it’s not as fleshed out. I need to be able to use both eslint and typescript language servers and I don’t have a reliable way to do that in eglot.
I am currently using emacs-head. I know I don’t need to use-package builtin emacs packages but I do anyway.

Would you elaborate the part about home-manager? Do you use it to manage emacs packages?
Yes, I use
home-managerto manage my emacs packages, among other things. Here’s the snippet that includes my emacs configuration. It’s in a file calledcommon.nixwhich I include in my baselinux.nixanddarwin,nixconfigurations.There is a bit dynamism in the config that makes
lsporeglotorverticoconfigurations active. There is a bit at the bottom of myinit.elthat includes those files if they are present. It’s not the cleanest solution, but it’s mine.{ pkgs, ... }: let # myEmacs = if pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin then pkgs.emacsGit else pkgs.emacsPgtk; myEmacs = pkgs.emacsGit; useVertico = false; useLsp = true; emacsWithPackages = (pkgs.emacsPackagesFor myEmacs).emacsWithPackages; in { home.packages = [ pkgs.tree-sitter pkgs.nixfmt pkgs.ripgrep pkgs.bc pkgs.file pkgs.syncthing pkgs.streamlink pkgs.unzip (emacsWithPackages (epkgs: [ (pkgs.callPackage ./copilot.nix { inherit (pkgs) fetchFromGitHub; inherit (epkgs) trivialBuild; inherit (epkgs.nongnuPackages) editorconfig; inherit (epkgs.melpaStablePackages) dash s; }) ] ++ (with epkgs.elpaPackages; [ transient ]) ++ (with epkgs.nongnuPackages; [ go-mode magit markdown-mode webpaste ]) ++ (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [ apheleia deadgrep emojify eslint-disable-rule flymake-eslint minions treesit-auto ]) ++ (with epkgs.melpaPackages; [ nix-mode org-roam git-timemachine ]) ++ (if useLsp then [ (with epkgs.melpaPackages; [ lsp-mode all-the-icons flycheck ]) ] else [ ]) ++ (if useVertico then [ (with epkgs.elpaPackages; [ consult corfu embark embark-consult marginalia orderless vertico ]) ] else [ ]))) ] ++ (if useLsp then [ pkgs.emacs-all-the-icons-fonts ] else [ ]); home.stateVersion = "22.11"; programs.home-manager.enable = true; programs.bash = { enable = true; enableCompletion = true; historyControl = [ "erasedups" "ignoredups" "ignorespace" ]; }; programs.btop.enable = true; programs.dircolors.enable = true; home.file = { ".gitignore_global".source = ./gitignore_global; ".emacs.d/init.el".source = ./init.el; } // (if useVertico then { ".emacs.d/vertico.el".source = ./vertico.el; } else { }) // (if useLsp then { ".emacs.d/lsp.el".source = ./lsp.el; } else { ".emacs.d/eglot.el".source = ./eglot.el; }); programs.git = { enable = true; extraConfig = { core = { excludesFile = "~/.gitignore_global"; }; pull = { rebase = true; }; init = { defaultBranch = "main"; }; }; }; programs.htop.enable = true; programs.less.enable = true; programs.man.enable = true; }
