Hi,
I think this is the biggest hurdle. A lot of folks are using gmail and
its web based UI and it is just plain awful. I have made the switch to
using neomutt (and isync + notmuch + mstmp) and it has made emails a
joy
to use and work with.
I use protonmail and they don't provide smtp access so I can't do git
send-mail as easy as other people do.
Protonmail has a bridge that deals with that but we don't have it
packaged
because it's written in Go and it has TOO MANY dependencies.
This is not Guix's fault, but it's a problem Guix doesn't help fix
either.
The only thing I can do with this is just copy-paste the result of git
format-patch and hope it's not a trouble for committers.
This doesn't mean I'm against the email based approach, in fact, I
really
like it. The main problem I see is many people inside guix are not
sensible to people's problems and tastes.
Some people are forced to use tools for several reasons, too.
This is what I mean when I say many times emacs is kind of mandatory,
and
this thread is kind of a demonstration of what I meant because the main
discussion evolved to: you can use this or that in emacs to ease the
dev
experience.
