A Late Night Rant About Emacs
I also want to add that there is a large list of personal Emacs configs out there that you can take inspiration from https://github.com/caisah/emacs.dz
-
Using emacs in a way that fits its philosophy
You could also scour emacs config files, probably of the classic variety, for inspiration.

Trying out Emacs
I found this kinda of directory of configs, maybe it can be helpful: https://github.com/caisah/emacs.dz - I'm not sure if they're beginner-friendly, but some seem to be well documented, at least from a quick look.

I think a nice overview is at https://github.com/caisah/emacs.dz

Doom emacs on MacOS: escape-x (Meta-x) does not work
There are lots of other "starter kits". There are also lots of Emacs users who have posted their configurations. In some cases, they won't work directly for you, but might give some inspirations. Others are more like starter kits. Here's one list: starter packs and config files. However, I can't vouch for any of them, and they may be built on their own set of unusual assumptions that you don't like but can't figure out how to disable. Some might only work with older versions of some packages. Some might only work in the latest, pre-release versions of Emacs. Etc.

Good emacs distro for an evil mode user?

Is doom emacs still actively maintained?
Keep an eye on Crafted Emacs which has a v2Beta release branch. It's been evolving. The v2Beta is a rewrite. It aims to provide a minimalist leg up on vanilla Emacs for new Emacs users. It's goal is to take you from first steps to a point where you have learned a great deal and built your configuration. Then you may be comfortable ditching the Crafted Emacs boilerplate configuration entirely. Think of it as a starter kit. Follow SystemCrafters on YouTube (live stream mostly) & Matrix (they are leaving Discord). Despite the live stream being lengthy, there is much to be learned as you bear witness to David figuring things out. Over time, you pickup on those techniques such as looking up a variable state, reviewing functions, evaluating snippets of Elisp in real time, etc. Also recommend, Mastering Emacs as a fantastic ebook with free updates. Once 29.1 ships, no doubt, there will be a free update to the ebook.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
I'd recommend you have a look at crafted-emacs. It's an example of how far Emacs can actually go without third-party packages. Then you can add minimal packages (completion and specific tool integrations) to further enhance the experience.

Emacs bankruptcy
For me it's quite stable except some issues I had with vertico. Anyways, I first started to rewrite my doom config into plain vanilla emacs (with org mode literate configs), and then I discovered crafted which allowed me to remove some code with commonly set sane defaults, e.g. stuff from https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs/blob/master/modules/crafted-defaults.el.

Kudos to Emacs developers
I have been surprised at how many people have so ardently defended only using built-ins and raw package.el and their own janky ensure methods when use-package was available and did it all better. And, it even lets you configure Emacs itself (not just packages), as well as seamlessly letting you try different package management tools like straight.el. Getting it into Emacs itself hopefully makes this a more prevalent way of showing users how to craft their own config.

Switched to VSCode... I miss Atom :(
If you need a staring point for configuring there's some nice light ones like emacs-bedrock and crafted-emacs, and also some fully pre-configured Emacs distributions that you can choose from (though those look harder to configure to one's personal needs to me, but I haven't tried them so wouldn't know).
