I'm switching to emacs from neovim
I started my Emacs journey with Spacemacs but it wasn't good since it's not actually Emacs - you need to learn entirely new stuff on top of Emacs stuff. In the end I gave up and settled with IntelliJ IDEA for Scala development. In five years I returned to Emacs, but started from very simple Castlemacs distribution, learning the meaning of each line, copying to my config only settings I needed, mostly related to configuring Emacs to behave properly on macOS. I don't bother with Doom Emacs, my startup time of 3 seconds doesn't bother me.

starter config for switching to emacs from neovim
I started from this https://github.com/freetonik/castlemacs, it's not been updated for a few years, but a good starting point if you're on macOS.

MOMACS: FINALLY A BEGINNER FRIENDLY EMACS
https://github.com/freetonik/castlemacs is the approach where I finally understood and was the missing tutorial for mac users. I've done the emacs embedded tutorial, but got stuck at that weird usage of ESC key as Meta key. That repo laid down the bridgework to me being comfortable with emacs. Still very sparse, but getting there!

How can I get the novice programmers I coach to adopt Emacs?
Lower the barrier to entry, maybe give them your configuration or some sort of starter-kit, I think castlemacs is good choice as it is quite simple and useable. Tell them to fork it on Github and use it.

Emacs in fifty keystrokes (and why some of you should just use Vim)
I think IJKL keys are probably better then arrow keys, see how castlemacs does it.

Look up the no-littering package.

Using init.el as a wrapper to a primary config
btw, I'm using the https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering package to determine the location of the custom.el: https://github.com/onetom/onetomacs/blob/main/lib/use-no-littering.el

Newbie here: temporary files and startup page
i use the package no-littering, it's change the default directory for temporary, backup and others files created by packages to two dir, etc and var, so the ~/.emacs.d and buffer directory keep clean from this kind of files

New to emacs and having some confusion
https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering this moves the backups away, iirc. but I remember from some Emacs videos, that some ppl actually keep all their backup files, so they can grep them, in case they overwrite something, which they haven't committed into version control.
-
bookmark+ - backups not working. Do they for you?
I do use no-littering that doesn't appear to be hiding anything. ~/.emacs.d/var/bmkp/current-bookmark.el contains my bookmarks. Thats the only file there.
