No, no, do not require packages if you can avoid it! This will really slow emacs start time. Well, of course, you are free to do whatever you want, but I just can't see all the useless "require"s people have in their configs. Instead you can use 'with-eval-after-load' or 'eval-after-load' or 'use-package' <https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package>. -- Alex
