Emacs, hour one
git clone https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers
-
What are the small reasons to try Emacs?
Suggest to start off with a small vim-like config if doom or spacemacs aren't for you (see emacs-for-vimmers).
-
How do you suggest me approaching Emacs coming from VIM?
I prefer not to depend on any existing frameworks, here is the emacs/VIM config I wish I had starting out - minimal & commented: emacs-for-vimmers
-
I'm new to emacs
If you don't want a starter kit - but are interested in a commented vim-like setup, checout: emacs-for-vimmers. Even if you are not into VIM, the defaults may be of interest to you.
-
Helping a long time Vim user try Emacs
I came from a fairly similar place, this is a fairly minimal package set to have a useful evil-mode up and running: https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers
-
Flagging words and phrases in Emacs
This is a fully self contained config made by making minor changes to emacs-for-vimmers that works in my tests.
-
Moving from Doom to Vanilla
If you'd like to have a reference for a lite weight vim/emacs setup, checkout https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers - for a commented configuration that gets you up and running without having to buy into a framework.
-
I want to give up Vim
Suggest https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers to get you up and running with something approximating a typical development configuration in VIM.
-
Beginner Emacs (Evil) questions to help me improve my setup. Help strongly appreciated
Check packages used by emacs-for-vimmers - the config file is short and commented, giving a minimal VIM-like setup that includes features useful to developers.
-
Switching from vim
If you like building your own config from scratch - check out emacs-for-vimmers as a reference.

Org mode insert item
It looks like that package has an issue tracker here, if you wanted to raise one: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection/issues
-
What should I do on my Corne keymap to make Emacs easier?
Honestly, I've yet to find a plugin that I use that isn't covered by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection. I love emacs, but I can't stand the chords.
-
How usable is Emacs with its default keybindings?
Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.
-
Emacs setup for people who suffer from RSI
I still have phases where I experiment with modal editing, but I haven't messed with Evil-mode in a long time. I prefer Meow, in part because it doesn't invest everything on a single command layout. And the sample Dvorak layout meshes really well with Emacs bindings for special modes (like Dired and Ibuffer). So you don't have to install and configure something like Evil-collection just to use the same bindings everywhere.
-
Does it worth to use Emacs keybindings instead of doom's predefined?
The problem I have with evil in Emacs is that it is another layer on top of vinalla Emacs. Not many packages are designed with evil key bindings in mind. You need packages like https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection and and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-magit and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-ediff to make Emacs feel more "evil". Distros like Doom and Spacemacs integrate these packages for you, but then you're even farther away from the default Emacs experience. I also find online help worse for evil bindings. To figure stuff out you often have to resort to looking at vim or neovim documentation. "Vanilla" Emacs is famously "self documenting" but last I checked evil couldn't provide useful help, within Emacs, in the same way.
-
Modal editing: Evil, Boon or Meow?
Evil does interfere with bindings in some modes, but https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection fixes a lot of these issues, both for built-in modes and a lot of popular third-party ones.
-
How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
Oh, and stick this in your use-package for general: ;; We want SPC as a leader key, probably. So do this. It just affects what ;; keybinds are overridden by the `override' keymap functionality that ;; `general' provides. ;; ;; https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection#making-spc-work-similarly-to-spacemacs ;; ;; NOTE: `evil-collection' binds over SPC in many packages. To use SPC as a ;; leader key with `general', first set these override states: (setq general-override-states '(insert emacs hybrid normal visual motion operator replace))

I'm switching to emacs from neovim
You might want to look into the evil-collection package.

Is my understanding of Vim and Emacs correct?
Evil mode is incredible, but it has real disadvantages in the Emacs context. It is another layer above Emacs, which makes Emacs different from its default self. E.g. most packages don't come with evil-mode key bindings. The popular Emacs packages are handled by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection but, there is always going to be a layer of translation between how upstream describes its key bindings and how Evil binds them.
