Jesse: I'm using spacemacs with guix, but not dual emacs/spacemacs. Some resources (which you may have already encountered): https://www.reddit.com/r/spacemacs/comments/88poow/how_can_i_run_spacemacs_and_emacs_side_by_side/ (ihsec = I hate switching emacs environments) https://github.com/daedreth/ihsec I don't think your 3rd approach makes sense, as spacemacs is just emacs with a different configuration. -Jeff
