M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)
They all use evil-mode for Vim emulation. So it's just their choice of defaults and configuration style that sets them apart. Doom might have a slight edge with a focus on performance.
Evil-mode is not the only way. There are other approaches like devil you might want to check out.

Famous Programers with Repetitive Strain Injury (2022)
> in particular, due to use of emacs
I use Emacs too full-time (at work as well as at home). I use the ctrl key on both sides of the keyboard. Say, if I'm typing C-a (i.e., ctrl+a), I hold down 'ctrl' with the right little finger and 'a' with the left little finger. Similarly, if I'm typing C-k, I hold down 'ctrl' with the left little finger and 'k' with the right little finger. I touch type and any touch typing lesson teaches us how we always both hands to type shift+something. The same lessons can be applied to the ctrl key as well. Never had any problem using Emacs like this.
However there are some laptop keyboards which do not have the right ctrl key and that makes good typing habits really difficult when the 'ctrl' key is involved. That led me to write a minor mode to make Emacs a better experience for me on such keyboards without having to resort to a modal editing mode like God mode or Evil mode. My non-modal editing mode is called the Devil mode: <https://susam.github.io/devil/>.
Since I've never suffered from RSI due to Emacs usage, it makes me very curious about what the actual contributing factors are that causes some Emacs users to get RSI. Is it the large number of hours spent with Emacs? Is it poor typing habits? Poor keyboards?

Evil mode's kinda hacky
These days there is also devil-mode: https://susam.github.io/devil/

Keybindings/button advices needed for native Android Emacs!
Hmm...maybe this Devil Mode would be useful. I would probably choose something other than a comma - - there might be something on the software keyboard that I rarely use.

Improving Emacs Isearch Usability with Transient
I think which-key already solves exactly that: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

Evil mode's kinda hacky
As for the "complicated keybindings general" -- I assume because remembering things like C-x C-s is hard because of the shifted keystrokes? I get that, and there is in fact a solution for less used keybindings which I love, called 'which-key' https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

Should I start with vanilla Emacs?
I would recommend installing the which-key package, which is a fantastic discoverability aid. If you ever want an example config to get some inspiration, I have one here: Emacs Bedrock

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Make sure you have which-key installed and turned on. When using a keybinding that has a prefix (like C-x or C-c), it displays all the keybindings that start with that prefix.

Switched to Emacs a week ago, really thrilled so far. Looking for help on a few (somewhat advanced) questions.
there are some packages to help with the keybings, which-key shows a list of keybind and its command and (guru-mode)[https://github.com/bbatsov/guru-mode] enforces to use the "best" keybind, for exemple, it forces you to use C-n to move the cursor, blocking you to use the down key, and if you press the down key, it show a text in minibuffer to the best keybind.

Is anyone able to resize which-key side-window?
Thanks for confirming, I think it's an issue in which-key itself: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key/pull/166

Too many keybindings
If you haven't already, definitely check out the package which-key.

Tell HN: Vim users, `:x` is like `:wq` but writes only when changes are made
> even though I'm a terminal user ... I really like the discoverability of GUIs, and that's where a good GUI is unbeatable by CLI.
CLI has poor discoverability? Sure; but even on the terminal, discoverability can still be good:
A couple of nice examples of discoverability in keyboard-focused programs:
- emacs' which-key[0]; there's a vim port[1] too. This shows you (some) of the available keybindings for the next input, and a short label. So you don't have to remember what `SPC h p ...` or all the options under `SPC f...`.. but it still helps to recall that `SPC h` is for 'help' related commands, `SPC f` for file related commands.
- emacs' magit[2][3]. Magit is so good at discoverability, that I'd rate it as the best tool for using git with. I've learned more about git from using it.

Creating and displaying cheatsheets of keybindings
Am I right in thinking this is quite similar to which-key?
