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).

Eglot + pyright can not get completion on django.db.models
My Emacs journey is from purcell/emacs.d, and then simplified it with use-package and Borg, and only keep the packages I need. Purcell's config is a very nice starter kit.

Need help w/ buffer management when opening new buffers.
I prefer these functions from purcell's config because the last buffer is the buffer I want 80% of the time. https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-windows.el

Why the fuck is there some error with emacs config every single time?
Emacs demands you to learn it over a lifetime. That’s how it is, unless you give up to doom or purcell config or some other config maintained by a very knowledgeable emacs hacker.

I left Emacs and Org-Mode 8 months ago and switched to more modern note-taking tools. But yesterday I came back to it, and now I feel at home.
Eight months ago, I saw this tweet from Steve Purcell, the maintainer of the famous purcell's emacs.d config. Seeing that he was left org-mode for a new tool, discouraged me from using Emacs and building my own config. It also encouraged me to try Logseq, which is one of the most popular PKM tools alongside Obsidian.

Let's build a comprehensive list of design considerations when making an Emacs configuration.
Steve Purcell's emacs.d satisfies this checklist. It's not as feature packed as Doom, so beginners should have a look at. Another is Kaushal Modi's .emacs.d.

Does eglot work with third party packages?
If you want to use flycheck instead, may be you can have look the flymake-flycheck , and the author's Emacs configuration: https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-flymake.el
