Quickly learning some LISP basics for using emacs?
The packages helpful and elisp-demos are super useful because they enhance Emacs' built-in documentation.

Emacs terminology
Since you seem interested, have a look at elisp-demos , too. It works in tandem with helpful.

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
Elisp Docs are fantastic they have documented everything while with CL most documentation is missing or only on the Web. With Emacs, one need to learn about C-h f (describe-function), C-h k (describe-key), helpful.el and elisp-demos and a new world opens. Terminology is always different, simple example: Microsoft terminology sounds like bullshit, to a Unix person.

I really like helpful with elisp-demos.

About to declare emacs bankruptcy before I lose my job
Emacs is by far not as buggy as you described. Go and get yourself a good book like "Mastering Emacs". Work through it (especially the "Getting Help" part) and learn some Emacs Lisp. Install and use the package helpful and elisp-demos. Also, edebug-defun is your friend.

Emacs lisp api sucks
Two packages I find worth mentioning to aid documentation: helpful and elisp-demos. I find the demo/snippets pretty handy.

Is pgtk for MacOS worth it?
I built emacs from source, native comp, a few months ago and recently heard about pgtk. Is this worth it (for more smoothness, better user experience) on MacOS? I saw this thread: https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos/issues/45 where it was mentioned that you have to turn off the MacOS specific flag, so I’m not sure if it’s more harm than good, and what benefit it may serve. Anyone have experience optimizing their emacs on MacOS as much as possible? I basically run native comp vanilla emacs with only about 100 lines in my init file, which I byte compile (I’m not sure if the init file byte compilation helps? It seems like even though packages get compiled down natively, going into the native code folder (alongside byte compilations) , init.el doesn’t have an option for it).

Emacs 29.0.90 pretest is available
I've been stuck on a build from February 23rd, I think, because all other builds since then have had some instability or funny quirks. Just built this today from source (thank you build-emacs-for-macos) and it's been solid so far!

Alternatively if you prefer to compile Emacs on your machine, there’s emacs-plus and my own build-emacs-for-macos which both have options to enable native compilation for 28.x and later builds.
