I've been using Emacs 29+ for the past while and have enjoyed simplifying my configuration now that use-package is OOTB. I think now is a really excellent time to try Emacs if you haven't already. I put together a simple tool to generate a starter Emacs config from a few configurable options, which I can now update to point at a proper release channel instead of a prerelease: https://emacs-config-generator.fly.dev/

I tried generating a file [1] and got this error when running emacs:

> Symbol's function definition is void: package-vc-install

Hm, what's your `(emacs-version)`? `package-vc-install' is only available in Emacs 29+.

Looks like it’s acually 28, my bad; thanks, I’ll update and retry later.
