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.

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.

Trying out Emacs

Doom emacs on MacOS: escape-x (Meta-x) does not work
There are lots of other "starter kits". There are also lots of Emacs users who have posted their configurations. In some cases, they won't work directly for you, but might give some inspirations. Others are more like starter kits. Here's one list: starter packs and config files. However, I can't vouch for any of them, and they may be built on their own set of unusual assumptions that you don't like but can't figure out how to disable. Some might only work with older versions of some packages. Some might only work in the latest, pre-release versions of Emacs. Etc.
