A drawback of using the early-init phase instead of init is that if a package fails (e.g, due to a network issue), no output will be displayed in the Emacs GUI. You will need to open a terminal to view Emacs's stdout for error messages.

### Testimonials from users
- [JamesBrickley (Shout out to this starter-kit: Minimal-Emacs )](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1epz7qn/shout_out_to_this_starterkit_minimalemacs/) appreciates that *minimal-emacs.d* provides an optimized *early-init.el* and *init.el* for fast startup times and sensible default settings. He highlights that the project includes all the essential configurations needed for a well-tuned Emacs setup, eliminating the need to sift through conflicting advice on topics like garbage collection optimization. While he has encountered similar settings before, he also discovered new optimizations he had not seen elsewhere.
- [Brandon Schneider (skarekrow)](https://github.com/skarekrow): "...the minimal-emacs project is incredible. I love how documented it is as a beginner to learn from. Thank you for all the effort you've put into that and the other packages you maintain. It's a huge boon to new users."

- [Leading_Ad6415 commented on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1feaf37/comment/lmw7ijd/) that after switching to *minimal-emacs.d*, their configuration execution time decreased from 3 seconds to just 1 second by simply replacing their `init.el` and `early-init.el` files with those from the project.
- [Another user commented on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1feaf37/comment/lrsfd64/), highlighting how a minimal-emacs.d significantly enhanced their Emacs performance. They reported substantial startup time reductions on both their main machine (from ~2.25 to ~0.95 seconds) and an older laptop (from ~2.95 to ~1.27 seconds) while also experiencing a generally snappier performance within Emacs. The user expressed gratitude for the project, calling it fantastic.
- [Cyneox commented on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1gh687a/comment/lwdv18t/), expressing gratitude for the resource and sharing their experience. They mentioned it was their fourth attempt to set up a vanilla configuration and highlighted that they had been using the repository as a foundation for their customizations over the past few days. They appreciated the absence of unexplained behavior and the clear instructions on where to place files. The user reported successful testing on both Linux and macOS, noting that everything functioned smoothly, including in the terminal.
