Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
Finally, there is an awesome (in my opinion) add-on for dired called dirvish - makes dired more 'ranger' like if you're familiar with that. I absolutely love this package and its made dired's awesomeness even more awesome.

Ugly windows separators in emacsclient
why are the separations of my windows so ugly? I get a wide grey divider, when using dirvish, it is even worse (2 separators!!!)
-
How can I make it so I can toggle dired (or any buffer) on the left side of the screen? Similarly to hoe vscode has a file browser on the left
Also dirvish-side

Are There Any Methods To Get Dired Mode To Look Like Midnight Commander?
I'm not sure if it's exactly what you want, but to me Dirvish is the best these days. It builds upon dired in a beautiful way
-
dired navigation without infinite buffers
In addition to other cool things dirvish does this.

Which packages do you want people to work on more or add features to?
That said https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish is amazing on one of my computers and broken on the other so if you could fix that and let me know please do.

Completion command for common file moving/copying commands
Thanks for the reply, I hadn't seen those last two posts which are nice. Lately I've been using Dirvish for those type of operations. But this isn't exactly what I was looking for. I may not have been totally clear.
- Idea/Question: Using "feature-full" packages (e.g. dired) for completion?

About to declare Emacs bankruptcy. Any advice for cool or new packages, defaults, or ideas I should use before I start building my init.el? Also interested in guides to using evil.
The file manager Dirvish. You know how the veterans say that Dired is the best file manager? Well, with dirvish even mere mortals can agree. It has panes, a pretty UI, and even pdf preview through pdf-tools.

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;
https://karthinks.com/software/avy-can-do-anything/
https://github.com/jyp/boon
https://github.com/clemera/objed
https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/
https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys
https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode
Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

Why another modal editing package in Emacs?
This looks like an interesting and valiant attempt to build something that improves on everything that came before it, but I did find the documentation lacking in clarity.
I'm experimenting with this package right now instead:
https://github.com/clemera/objed
and will wire up the keyboard shortcuts using RYO package to roll my own modal state.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
Wow. meow project looks similar to objed but with more features. These projects are inclined to modal editing but not being vim. Thank you for suggesting.
-
What is your favorite text-editing package / command?
I like the semi-modal editing package objed (short for textual object editor)
-
atp - an experimental package for fast and intuitive text editing
This reminds me of u/clemera's objed and of versor.

Moving from evil to mostly-emacs keybindings
There are other modal systems for emacs. You even can construct your own with https://github.com/mrkkrp/modalka and https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal. I have done that, these packages were extremely easy to use. I had a lot of fun designing the modal regime of my dreams. There are https://github.com/LouisKottmann/emacs-baboon, https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys (and its various forks) and https://github.com/clemera/objed.

Minimally Invasion EVIL Mode?
I forgot about objed! Which is another very interesting project.

Guide-article: A Lisp REPL as my main shell
I didn't fully get what your interactive piping solution is, but I found that objed has a command oddly unrelated to the rest of its codebase: objed-ipipe, which does what I imagined Howard's piper to do but more intuitively to me. Though it seems you can write piper commands out in lisp so it's probably a superset feature-wise, I just never got started learning it.
-
What key binding scheme do you use to handle parentheses?
Well laid out, I fully agree. I think there is still a lot of potential to combine these two approaches in a better way, Emacs knows about many structures already but I think it could be more convenient to act on those. I tried my hand on this with objed which aims to make it easier to act/navigate on certain units (on demand or semi automatically).
What are some alternatives?
solarized-emacs - The Solarized colour theme, ported to Emacs.
aggressive-indent-mode - Emacs minor mode that keeps your code always indented. More reliable than electric-indent-mode.
.emacs.d - My current Emacs setup.
emacs.d - Personal Emacs configurations
dired-hacks - Collection of useful dired additions
lispy - Short and sweet LISP editing
dired-copy-paste - dired-copy-paste.el enables you to cut/copy/paste files and directries in emacs dired-mode.
meow - Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑
dired-sidebar - Sidebar for Emacs leveraging Dired
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
evil-org-mode - Supplemental evil-mode keybindings to emacs org-mode
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
