I wanted a beautiful computer and couldn't find one, so I made my own.
I've never yet used kakoune itself, but I've just started using the Meow modal editing package for Emacs, which I'm told resembles kakoune to some similar extent as boon resembles vi.
-
Alternative keyboard layouts
Shouldn't make much difference, because most of Emacs's default keybinds are either mnemonic or arbitrary (not relative, like Vi's hjkl). There are some unique control interfaces for Emacs which support (and even recommend) alt layouts out of the box. Specifically Meow, Fingers and Boon.

The extensible vi layer for Emacs
There's also Boon which I like quite a lot but I opted against using mostly because of all the places I would need to type where I wouldn't have access to Boon unless I ported it (a plan I assure you but one lumped behind 1,000 other projects TODO).

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;

Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

Public service announcement: Vim
Vim never, ever appealed to me. The keys are not exactly ergonomic, like the WordStar diamond, or intuitive, like the Emacs keys. But I can understand how modal editing - like in WordStar - can improve the writing experience tremendously. So, for my custom Emacs configuration for creative writing, I am using Boon, which allows me to use the left hand home row to navigate characters/words/sentences/lines, and the right hand home row to delete/insert/etc. Pressing v switches to Insert Mode, and C-; switches back to Command Mode. Highly addictively efficient!

Do you prefer something like evil mode or the default Emacs keybindings?
I've used both vim and evil in the past, but lately I've been playing with boon and I'm quite enjoying it. It plays nicely with emacs and has some good ideas, like pressing the yank key twice in a row will fix spaces:

Why not use Evil in 2022?
I am not using Evil in 2022 because I am using Boon :)

What do you use 's' for in normal mode? vanilla? or something like leap?
I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

Favourite Vim Easter Eggs?
I don't like many Vim plugins, but I absolutely must have sneak: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak

Using preconfigured distro vs rolling your own config
imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.
