use-package allows writing emacs configuration in a declarative manner,
rather than imperative. It does few more things:
- Describe autoload dependencies by means of packages, commands, hooks
and keybindings, allowing faster startup without affecting UX
- Allow configuring/executing stuff before/after package loading
- Isolate configuration for individual packages in separate
s-expressions.
In general, making things declarative has had huge improvement in my
config debug-ability, despite having 170+ packages currently loaded,
without significantly increasing startup time.
