Hi,
I have got a basic question.
1.
Some people use their init.el file and put everything there
They have a nice overview of all their settings for emacs.
But it is very long.
2.
Some people use init.el and gnus.el and other .el files
to sort them topically.
3.
Some people use the Emacs customization to customize everything.
And besides the init.el file there appears then a custom.el file in
which you can´t change anything, but through customization options
everything is done.
4.
What option should one prefer?
I have a .emacs file with custom values for each OS and platform:
paths, fonts, clipboard, keyboard, colors. They then call a
.emacs.commom.el for platform independent customizations.
