## Philosophy
Prelude's philosophy is quite simple:
* simple
* easy to understand and extend
* stable
* a foundation for you to build upon, as opposed to some end-user product
This means that it intentionally doesn't pack all the bells and whistles that it could.
Prelude aims to enhance the classic Emacs experience without deviating a lot from it - e.g.
it would never enable something like `evil-mode` (vim keybindings) by default and so on.
All the third-party packages that it bundles are carefully vetted and are known to be of
good quality and to have reliable maintainers. That generally means that Prelude's unlikely
to immediate adopt some shiny new package, that has established tried and true alternatives.
## Features
* Improved UX, that's still in line with Emacs traditions
* Sane defaults of baseline Emacs functionality
* A curated set of 3rd party packages to enhance the base functionality
* Simple modular architecture
* Easy customization
