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.

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.
1. https://github.com/noctuid/general.el
-
Evil mode's kinda hacky
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))

Best practice when configuring keybindings?

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.
-
A good config with leader keys
Gonna drop a link to https://github.com/noctuid/general.el
