Actually spacemacs made it to look a bit more modern by just changing some colors. What kind of changes to colors was that? It would be good to quantify what "modern" means. >Whenever I have to write text outside Emacs I feel hampered. Emacs has even a telegram client, jabber client, and IRC... so of course any method we use to communicate must have an emacs client, a web or desktop client and a mobile client. Only as long as those protocols/systems do not require or recommend non-free software.
