I’m enjoying my new approach to quick access to [[Emacs]] in my work environment.
- Not quite as intuitive or fun as using [[Guake]], but having GUI Emacs feel like an improvement.
- I like running the terminal version of Emacs but felt like missing out on a few too many niceties that way.
- Interesting to observe that other people either take a ‘one frame to rule them all’ or multiple frames approach.
- I’ve currently gone for one frame, using [[Spacemacs]] layouts to switch between different contexts. I’ll see how that pans out.

Hmm, interesting, whatever slowness I was experiencing regarding [[org-agenda]] rebuilding seems to have gone away with the switch back to using the GUI Emacs.
- Or maybe it’s because I’m just running one instance again?
- Either way, but for that to have gone away.
-
Sometimes, because I had separate multiple frames, I’d end up editing the same file in two separate frames and get conflicts around changes to the file.
- Particular when using org-capture to add to my Tasks.org file, then editing that in another frame.
- Avoiding this issue is a handy perk of using one frame with layouts - all the buffers are present in all layouts (I assume?), just hidden from view.
- Noting that probably this conflict would also be avoidable if running different frames from the same server instance of Emacs.
