Should I start with vanilla Emacs?
Vanilla. A good starting point for you is probably Emfy - https://github.com/susam/emfy

Making Emacs more approachable
I recommend Susam Pal's attempt to make Emacs more approachable for beginners: https://github.com/susam/emfy. He provides a line-by-line explanation of a simple config file.

Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor
That is true. But it’s pretty overwhelming for a lot of folks. I was a spacemacs user. I tried to rebuild what I liked about it. It was a lot, and I didn’t quite get it there.
I finally found a good compromise though. I started over with this confing: https://github.com/susam/emfy
From there, I only needed a handful of packages and a few dozen lines of config to get to an editor that was comfy.

VS Code – What's the deal with the telemetry?
I struggled to make the change. I think I tried half a dozen times to go from (neo)vim to Emacs and it never stuck. My problem was that I kept reaching for spacemacs and Doom Emacs, etc., right out of the gate, and I would be mystified by Emacs itself and Emacs Lisp as a result.
Two things helped get me into Emacs full-time (and this is after > 15 years of using vim):
1. I went step-by-step through Susam's Emfy Emacs config [0]. That helped me understand some of the basics at a foundational level. I extended that base configuration a little bit and became comfortable with the environment.
2. I then went step-by-step through the entire "Emacs from Scratch" playlist that System Crafters put out [1]. I pushed my personal configuration pretty far with that over the course of 2-3 months.
I eventually moved to Doom Emacs and married in pieces of my own configuration. That's been my daily driver for months now.

Ask HN: Should I learn Emacs in 2022?
Just have a weekend learning Emacs + Lisp and make your own opinion. This configuration (https://github.com/susam/emfy) is a great start. If you like it - use it, if you don't - throw it away.

Packages for Emacs beginner
Rather than one of the fat and opinionated "distros" (doom, spacemacs) I like emacs for you. It will set you up with a minimal config that you can learn from and add to as you go.

1Password for SSH changed the way I work
I’m really excited for Git’s recent addition of commit signing with SSH keys. It already works with 1Password SSH and I can’t wait for GitHub and Gitlab to support verification!
