A Late Night Rant About Emacs
You could manage such a system with tools like Chemacs, https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2

How to Make Emacs Look Cooler with Simple Customization
https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

have a look at how https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2 does this sort of things.

Is it worth renouncing evil and becoming a good person?
I asked this same question a year and half ago and since that post I started reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen which was really helpful, I used Chemacs to keep my evil config around in case I give up. But I ended up dropping that config and I realized I wasn't really into modal editing. It took me one month to get used to my new config but that was worth it, everything in Emacs became consistent.

Starting fresh?
Perhaps the biggest game changer in my new init file is chemacs2. This allows one to choose one among many possible ".emacs.d" directories to use for the emacs that is being invoked.

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).
