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.

- Devil v0.6.0 released: Now easier to type M- than C-M- (example: , m x becomes M-x)

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/
- Devil key translator v0.5.0 released: improved special key execution, devil-describe-key, etc.

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.

Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.

If you need more fine-grained keybindings control use https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

symbols function definition is void: map!
If you're relying heavily on Evil states and leader keys I also recommend this package: https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

bind.el -- A key binder with prefix, autoload, repeat-mode and save&restore support
If I have to say one or two things about them, general's readme looks a lot and may be hard to grasp for starters who just want to bind keys. I want bind to be the go to package for newcomers and unify people who are just bored of typing define-key or okay with looping since bind is close to that simplicity yet being powerful due to its design. If you are missing something, please open an issue and see if we can add it.

How do you call interactive commands with arguments like in vim?
For binding keys I highly recommend the package noctuid/general.el. Specifically binding to general-key-dispatch. Something like: (general-define-key :states '(normal visual) "/" (general-key-dispatch "/" 'ag-search :default 'evil-search-forward))

Anyone here uses evil-mode with Colemak-DH? How did you set up yours?
I use standard Colemak. I've added the following configuration to be able to exit insert mode by pressing l and h in sequence (that key combination is convenient to type, but still uncommon enough in most words, the main exception being localhost). (general-imap "l" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command :timeout 0.25 "h" 'evil-normal-state)) The above code uses https://github.com/noctuid/general.el.

Help with setting up emacs on windows
https://github.com/noctuid/general.el Keybinding and leader-key manager for Emacs. There are other packages but this is the best one imo - it even includes vim-style map commands.

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
(general is a keybinding helper package, not strictly necessary but way simpler than the default)
