***Cleanup
Despite having our *stateful* and *immutable* configurations seperate, it's good practice to make efforts to reduce the trash created by Emacs.

**** Evil mode
**** Evil
After a few hour with =vim= I knew it was game over, I cannot even think of another way I would feel comfortable editing text. Luckily, there exist packages to emulate this within Emacs. [[https://evil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html][evil-mode]] is the extensible VI layer for Emacs.

*** File management
*** Files
Emacs' can feel more modern when icon-fonts are installed and prioritized. I feel that this makes navigation of folders much faster, given that file types may be quickly identified by their corresponding icons.
