What were you trying to do with tramp? I’ve used it for coding Common Lisp, together with a remote SLIME session - ie slime-connect - and while I have run into at least 1 limitation with paths, I have a decent enough work around for it. I think the setup was just a matter of setting some customizable variables.

I typically use tramp for:

- docker containers - accessing boxes on same network

Sometimes its fine, but then perhaps because of regressions, I get buffers that never seem to recover and have to be cleaned up.

I see. I thought I had some .emacs customized settings I could share, but they're all slime specific. It appears tramp otherwise just works without further configuration - unless I set them in ielm and forgot about them before copying them over to .emacs, but I didn't see anything like that in my ielm history.
