Looking at the 'view your own result dump' it seems that it didn't record anything past the first page.

In any case, what did you answer regarding the 'favorite packages'? For me more or less in order of appreciation:

magit, org-mode (it is growing on me more and more), multiple-cursors, projectile, ido (although currently trying ivy), bubble-buffer, use-package, ag (should switch to rg I guess), company+lsp-mode (need to try eglot)

That was reported a few times in other places. According to the maintainer, there's a bug with the display/exporting, but the whole data still gets correctly recorded.

I use a lot of doom-emacs' defaults, so I'm blissfully ignorant of most of what's going on under the hood, but the ones I am aware of and appreciate most are (in order):

org, magit, evil, tramp, ispell

I could live without ispell or tramp, but if any of the first 3 go away I'd switch to Vim or maybe VS Code.

I wouldn't move to ivy today, though ivy is great. I moved on from it to the vertico/orderless/marginalia/consult/corfu type stack and it feels at least equivalent to me, but the implementation is more integrated with built-in Emacs and I think it will have a stronger future. Not that ivy is bad, or a generally inferior user experience.

- dtrt-indent: guess the indentation of the file. Great for collaborating with people

- ws-butler: fix whitespace only on the lines you've changed. Great for collaborating as well

- eglot

God-mode is by far my favorite, followed by Magit, Avy and Ace Window (of the same author as Avy).

evil, org-mode, auctex, avy, try… although thinking about it some more, I probably should have included use-package too, and possibly projectile and magit as well.
