I'm presently using spacemacs and I think it's a fantastic piece of
kit. It provides a very useful method of organizing packages (the so
called "layers", of which ESS is already one) that make maintaining your
personal configuration as well as adding additional contributors package
configs very simple. Documentation is second-to-none for emacs packages
and commits seem to be pushed daily.
