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.

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.

Table-style horizontal code auto-formatting / syntax
I use vim-lion for this. But generally, I don't like aligning things like this, as it makes the code more effort to write and maintain in any editor that isn't set up exactly how I have mine set up.
-
What are the small reasons to try Emacs?
Not out of the box, but the are several plugins that can do it, I prefer https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-lion
-
Good use cases for replace mode?
If you want to rename short_var without having to redo the spaces, you can use R to type over it. Though personally, I avoid writing my code like this and use vim-lion for alignment when I have to. 99% of the time, I use ce or ciw to rename variables.

align.nvim - A minimal plugin to align your lines to a certain character, string, or Lua pattern
it's always nice to reference the "state of the art" / competition in the README. It helps the user get a better idea what the software is about. For instance https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-lion

Emacs nazis took over, only allowing Vimmers 3 plugins. Which ones?

How to make Vim insert spaces after pressing Tab, in *multiple* of tabwidth?
There's also a third option: use a plugin designed for automatically doing whitespace text alignment. Personally, I use vim-lion for this. In your example, you would hit glip= (align text inside the current paragraph by inserting spaces to the left of the first =). The default configuration aligns with the maximum spacing currently used, but you can also configure it to use the minimum spacing necessary to align all the lines.
