Org mode insert item
It looks like that package has an issue tracker here, if you wanted to raise one: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection/issues

What should I do on my Corne keymap to make Emacs easier?
Honestly, I've yet to find a plugin that I use that isn't covered by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection. I love emacs, but I can't stand the chords.
-
How usable is Emacs with its default keybindings?
Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.
-
Emacs setup for people who suffer from RSI
I still have phases where I experiment with modal editing, but I haven't messed with Evil-mode in a long time. I prefer Meow, in part because it doesn't invest everything on a single command layout. And the sample Dvorak layout meshes really well with Emacs bindings for special modes (like Dired and Ibuffer). So you don't have to install and configure something like Evil-collection just to use the same bindings everywhere.
-
Does it worth to use Emacs keybindings instead of doom's predefined?
The problem I have with evil in Emacs is that it is another layer on top of vinalla Emacs. Not many packages are designed with evil key bindings in mind. You need packages like https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection and and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-magit and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-ediff to make Emacs feel more "evil". Distros like Doom and Spacemacs integrate these packages for you, but then you're even farther away from the default Emacs experience. I also find online help worse for evil bindings. To figure stuff out you often have to resort to looking at vim or neovim documentation. "Vanilla" Emacs is famously "self documenting" but last I checked evil couldn't provide useful help, within Emacs, in the same way.

Modal editing: Evil, Boon or Meow?
Evil does interfere with bindings in some modes, but https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection fixes a lot of these issues, both for built-in modes and a lot of popular third-party ones.

How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
Oh, and stick this in your use-package for general: ;; We want SPC as a leader key, probably. So do this. It just affects what ;; keybinds are overridden by the `override' keymap functionality that ;; `general' provides. ;; ;; https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection#making-spc-work-similarly-to-spacemacs ;; ;; NOTE: `evil-collection' binds over SPC in many packages. To use SPC as a ;; leader key with `general', first set these override states: (setq general-override-states '(insert emacs hybrid normal visual motion operator replace))

I'm switching to emacs from neovim
You might want to look into the evil-collection package.

Is my understanding of Vim and Emacs correct?
Evil mode is incredible, but it has real disadvantages in the Emacs context. It is another layer above Emacs, which makes Emacs different from its default self. E.g. most packages don't come with evil-mode key bindings. The popular Emacs packages are handled by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection but, there is always going to be a layer of translation between how upstream describes its key bindings and how Evil binds them.

Any fun ways to learn Emacs?
Using meow:https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others.
The muscle memory transfers well.

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Emacs Commands I Got by with for Years
Also see Meow[1], [2], which adopts some ideas from god-mode.

Emacs from Scratch Part Two
You have to go further for ideal IMO.
Evil and evil-collection integrates pretty well, but Meow integrates perfectly and uses the action visible first approach.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
I think I'd rather hope for meow over Evil. It's close to Evil but embraces more of emacs' default bindings for calling commands.

Emacs Is My New Window Manager
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
Modal editing with seamless emacs integration avoiding the need for evil-collection type packages.

Vile Mode (VIm Like Editing)
Repeat action (evil handles this very nicely). see: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/discussions/414

Devil Mode for Emacs
There's also Meow[1], which I currently use. You have to configure it first to suit your keyboard layout, but there are pre-built configs [2]

Is it possible to make god-mode turn off automatically after a command?
I was thinking about this a little more and Meow has something known as keypad mode that basically lets you call key combinations then return to Normal mode. It behaves a lot like god-mode. I just tested it out and if you install Meow you can call keypad-mode from insert and then automatically return to insert mode.
What are some alternatives?
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
god-mode - Minor mode for God-like command entering
evil-org-mode - Supplemental evil-mode keybindings to emacs org-mode
doom-emacs - An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]
kakoune.el - A very simple simulation of the kakoune editor inside of emacs.
emacs-which-key - Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup
doom-meow - A meow module for Doom Emacs
general.el - More convenient key definitions in emacs
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
emacs.d - Personal Emacs configurations
