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.

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.

2024-01-01 Emacs News
> I forgot how absolutely horrible the new user experience is...
The bbatsov/prelude project was started in 2011 to help address that problem. I started using it not long after that, and it's been a joy to use ever since.
And by "started using" I mean I forked it on GitHub, stared personalizing, and then merging/rebasing from upstream ever since at my own leisure.

https://prelude.emacsredux.com/en/latest/
From 2011 to present, not everyone in the Emacs community feels bbatsov's Emacs Prelude makes the best/correct decisions, but given how long Emacs has been around and how large the community has been over time, what can you really expect?
It's certainly a lighter-weight starter kit compared to Doom Emacs and Spacemacs. (I'm not knocking those projects!). I've also looked at some of the newer starter kits mentioned in other comments here and previous HN threads; they seem okay to me, just reinventing a lot of the same "wheels" you'll find in Prelude but in a less refined form in many cases... such are the freedoms, joys, and trials of Free Software.

Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
If I recall correctly, on my mac I had an issue with the meta and super keys. I had to rebind Meta to Cmd and Super to Opt. Im pretty sure I used Bozhidar Batsov's solution for this.
Another reason for you to stick to Emacs is Emacs Lisp. If you enjoy writing lisp you are not going to find a better piece of software written in any other lisp language. I prefer common lisp to elisp (alot!) but this is a fact in my opinion. Plus elisp is somewhat similar to common lisp and learning/appreciating the differrnces between the two will make you a better lisp programmer.

substituring dash-functional with dash in emacs Prelude: can I do it or only the package creator
I have based my emacs config on Emacs Prelude from u/bbatsov, because I did not trust starting from vanilla emacs.

I left Emacs and Org-Mode 8 months ago and switched to more modern note-taking tools. But yesterday I came back to it, and now I feel at home.
When some days ago I decided to use org-mode again, I didn't use Doom Emacs, and it was the best decision that I've made. Instead, I used Prelude, which is a very simple and powerful Emacs config, and it's much less opinionated than Doom Emacs and Spacemacs. Then I disabled the Prelude theme, and combined it with Nano-Emacs. Now I have a very simple Emacs config, which provides me with some of the best tools, and also a very beautiful and elegant theme. I can change everything I want very easily, customized it to my needs.

Thanks :)… it was originally heavily inspired by Emacs Prelude, but has since drifted quite far from it.
