+Sacha Chua has a nice
+[Emacs chat intro](http://sachachua.com/blog/2013/04/emacs-chat-intro/) article
+back from 2013. I write this post half because she asks there about my
+(OK, anyone’s) first Emacs moments, and half because I plan to do it
+for months now.
+
+I wanted to start using Emacs 6(ish) years ago, and I was like
+“<kbd>C-x</kbd> what”? (Note that back around 1998, I was among the
+people who exited `vi` by killing it from another terminal after a
+bunch of tries & fails like
+[these](http://osxdaily.com/2014/06/12/how-to-quit-vim/).)
+
+I tried to come back to Emacs a lot of times. And I mean a *lot*,
+about every two months. I suddenly learned what these cryptic key
+chord descriptions mean (`C` is for <kbd>Control</kbd> and `M` is for
+<kbd>Meta</kbd>, which is actually <kbd>Alt</kbd>), but somehow it
+didn’t *click*. I remained a ViM power user with a huge pile of
+3<sup>rd</sup> party plugins.
+Then [I found Nyan-macs]({% post_url 2014-09-17-nyanmacs %}),
+which converted me to Emacs, and it is final now. Many of my friends
+thought I’m just kidding this being the cause, but I’m not. I’m a huge
+fan of Nyan cat (did you know there is even a site
+called [nyan.cat](http://nyan.cat/)?) and since then I have it in my
+mode line:
+
+![Nyan modeline]({{ site_url }}/images/nyan-modeline.png)
+
+…in my `eshell` prompt:
+
+![IMAGE HERE]({{ site_url }}/images/nyan-eshell.png)
+
+…and I also [zone out](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ZoneMode) with
+Nyan cat:
+
+![IMAGE HERE]({{ site_url }}/images/nyan-zone.png)
+
+Now on to more serious stuff. After browsing through all the packages
+provided by [ELPA](http://elpa.gnu.org/), I found tons of useful (and
+sometimes, less useful) packages,
+like
+[Helm](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/wiki),
+[company](http://company-mode.github.io/),
+[gtags](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnuGlobal) (which introduced
+me to GNU Global, removing Exuberant ctags from my
+life),
+[magit](https://magit.vc/),
+[Projectile](http://batsov.com/projectile/),
+and [Org](http://orgmode.org/) (OK, it’s actually part of Emacs for a
+while, but still). I still use these few, but in a month or two, I
+started
+to [version control](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/my-emacs-d) my
+`.emacs.d` directory, so I can easily transfer it between my home and
+work machine (and for a few weeks now, even to my phone: I’m using
+Termux on Android). Then, over these two years I wrote some packages
+like [GobGen](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/gobgen.el), and a
+small addon for Calendar
+providing
+[Hungarian holidays](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/hungarian-holidays),
+and I found a lot more (in no particular
+order):
+[git-gutter](https://github.com/syohex/emacs-git-gutter),
+[multiple-cursors](https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el),
+[origami](https://github.com/gregsexton/origami.el),
+[ace-window](https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window),
+[avy](https://github.com/abo-abo/avy),
+[beacon](https://github.com/Malabarba/beacon), and a lot more.
+
+What is more important (to me) is that I started using
+the [use-package](https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package) package,
+which can automatically download packages that are not installed on my
+current local system. Together
+with
+[auto-package-update](https://github.com/rranelli/auto-package-update.el),
+it is *very* practical.
+
+In addition, I started to follow the blogs of a bunch of Emacs
+users/gurus. I’ve already
+mentioned [Sacha Chua](http://sachachua.com/). She’s a charming,
+cheerful person, writing a lot about Emacs and project management
+(among other things). Another one
+is [Bozhidar Batsov](http://batsov.com/), who, among other things, had
+an initiate to lay down the foundation of
+a
+[common Elisp coding style](https://github.com/bbatsov/emacs-lisp-style-guide). Another
+favourite of mine
+is [Endless Parentheses](http://endlessparentheses.com/), whence I got
+a lot of ideas.
