Users are instead encouraged to define their configuration programmatically in files such as `post-init.el`. Maintaining configuration programmatically offers several advantages: it ensures transparency and reproducibility, facilitates version control. Unlike the automatically generated custom.el, which may introduce opaque or redundant settings, programmatic configuration is explicit and deterministic. This makes it easier to understand, audit, and evolve the configuration over time.
In Emacs, customization variables modified via the UI (e.g., `M-x customize`) are typically stored in a separate file, commonly named `custom.el`.
