Emacs bankruptcy
I've used emacs for about the same (started with microemacs in the 80s). I also had an extremely crufty init.el and recently decided to start over. I compared 19 emacs distributions (from this list and this r/emacs post). I looked at

Making Emacs more approachable
But, to be honest, I think it simply is not for everyone. But sure one thing is lacking (as far as I know): a metatutorial. Like a big "chart" telling people what can be done with Emacs (with a few examples), something like https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs for newcomers.

Emacs + a nice theme + editing features is awesome! (plus some questions about extra configuration)
Awesome-emqcs is a great resource for knowing what packages are there: https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs

How Can I Start the Daunting Task of Making my Own Config?
For packages, Checking what people in the community commonly use, such as in https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs/ or checking packages for review in Doom Emacs helps a lot in selection. There are also great guides, such as Kristoffer Balintona's https://kristofferbalintona.me/categories/guides/. Personally, my bias in selecting packagges is towards the ones that integrate well with built-in Emacs functionalities. I could provide you a list if you want.

Is doom emacs still actively maintained?
Keep an eye on Crafted Emacs which has a v2Beta release branch. It's been evolving. The v2Beta is a rewrite. It aims to provide a minimalist leg up on vanilla Emacs for new Emacs users. It's goal is to take you from first steps to a point where you have learned a great deal and built your configuration. Then you may be comfortable ditching the Crafted Emacs boilerplate configuration entirely. Think of it as a starter kit. Follow SystemCrafters on YouTube (live stream mostly) & Matrix (they are leaving Discord). Despite the live stream being lengthy, there is much to be learned as you bear witness to David figuring things out. Over time, you pickup on those techniques such as looking up a variable state, reviewing functions, evaluating snippets of Elisp in real time, etc. Also recommend, Mastering Emacs as a fantastic ebook with free updates. Once 29.1 ships, no doubt, there will be a free update to the ebook.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
I'd recommend you have a look at crafted-emacs. It's an example of how far Emacs can actually go without third-party packages. Then you can add minimal packages (completion and specific tool integrations) to further enhance the experience.

Emacs bankruptcy
For me it's quite stable except some issues I had with vertico. Anyways, I first started to rewrite my doom config into plain vanilla emacs (with org mode literate configs), and then I discovered crafted which allowed me to remove some code with commonly set sane defaults, e.g. stuff from https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs/blob/master/modules/crafted-defaults.el.

Kudos to Emacs developers
I have been surprised at how many people have so ardently defended only using built-ins and raw package.el and their own janky ensure methods when use-package was available and did it all better. And, it even lets you configure Emacs itself (not just packages), as well as seamlessly letting you try different package management tools like straight.el. Getting it into Emacs itself hopefully makes this a more prevalent way of showing users how to craft their own config.

Switched to VSCode... I miss Atom :(
If you need a staring point for configuring there's some nice light ones like emacs-bedrock and crafted-emacs, and also some fully pre-configured Emacs distributions that you can choose from (though those look harder to configure to one's personal needs to me, but I haven't tried them so wouldn't know).
