Hey, another spacemacs user here. I want to elaborate on what hj said. This system is intuitive, fast, and crucially, context sensitive. Depending on what file you're working on (the major mode), you are offered different key sequences, in addition to a list of global ones. But that's not the good part. The real beauty is that in emacs everything you to is a function, and every function can be bound to a key sequence. Which means that, when you find yourself doing the same series of actions over and over, you can just write a function that does all those actions in order, and bind it to just one key sequence. Now, I'm not trying to say that spacemacs is the future of GUI (it's really not). The point I've been working towards is that the mouse radial menu system would be really really good if more applications had a way to receive signals from external programs. Imagine you're watching a video, and with one mouse motion, you pause the video, switch to your preferred email client, reply to the most recent email with "I'll get right on it," switch back to your video, and resume playback. This could very easily be a reality. It is platform agnostic. It doesn't matter how locked down Windows is, as long as an application can be told to act by receiving a signal. The only reason this hasn't already happened is because devs by and large just don't implement it. If you are a developer working on an application right now, you can make this future a reality. You have the power to make the future of GUI amazing.
