2. the leader key https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide#leader-key

Intro to Evil for non-Vim users? Beyond evil-tutor
I'm not aware of a guide specifically for non-vim users, but pretty much any vim guide will be helpful - it's just best to avoid parts on vimscript, as evil isn't configured using that. Even though it introduces itself as a guide for Vim users, I still think https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide is worth a read. As for packages which complement evil, most are named with evil as a prefix, so you can browse melpa with that in mind. One exception that comes to mind is lispyville, which provides an evil approach for editing s-expressions. evil-cleverparens is also worth a look. Feel free to ask any questions on the evil issues page too!

About to declare Emacs bankruptcy. Any advice for cool or new packages, defaults, or ideas I should use before I start building my init.el? Also interested in guides to using evil.
Evil is a complex machinery build by vim nostalgic refugees, so familiarity with Vim's modal editing model is still recommended. I like this, even if it's not a tutorial: https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide

How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
I'd recommend reading noctuid's evil guide, particularly the link to the spacemacs keymap guide and the mention of the commentary on evil-core.el
-
Is it worth renouncing evil and becoming a good person?
It’s probably worth understanding what evil is doing so you can make your own key bindings for packages you find. I personally don’t think evil is obscuring things for me because I’ve gotten pretty good at using the introspection features of emacs to look at what everything is doing. The guide from noctuid was a good reference when I read it https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide.

Consistent Emacs Keybindings
Set aside a little bit of time to learn properly how Emacs and evil-mode work together. Not sure if you've seen it, but here's an excellent guide for transitioning from Vim to Emacs with evil-mode. It's by the author/maintainer of general.el.
-
Is there a way to present a warning message when a key combination is redefined? So I have some kind of heads up that a conflict occured?
A bit unrelated to your question, but if you are having trouble with keybindings I really recommend this read. Also, if you use evil-mode, reading evil-guide is really worth it as well, to understand how to configure things correctly.

Looking for evil-mode resources for non vim users emacs beginners
I read the documentation and noctuid's evil-guide and they are great but are more oriented towards vim users, the second one also being too technical for an emacs beginner (I'm not a programmer).

Is there an Obsidian plugin similar to AceJump for IntelliJ IDEs or avy for Emacs?
What I'm looking for is something like AceJump for IntelliJ IDEs or avy for Emacs. These tools let you navigate to some part of the visible text with just a few keystrokes. Here's the behavior I would like in Obsidian, copied from AceJump's page:
-
Vim-like “jump” cursor for Mac OS Window Management
For my emacs friends, here's a wonderful package that provides the same functionality: https://github.com/abo-abo/avy
And, if you're interested in some historical context for this "type characters and jump to point" functionality, the Canon Cat: https://youtu.be/o_TlE_U_X3c

Kill until next char preceding space | Uppercase | underscore
Personally I've learned to do things the "Emacs way" and got used to its killing behavior. For multi-line stuff I would mark the region and then use navigation commands to get the point where I want it. For more complex scenarios I use either C-s/C-r or just use avy to get the point where it needs to be. For single line stuff I think M-z works well. Maybe this package could be useful to you as well? Just some ideas, I think there are actually many options here (including going over to evil ;) and it depends on your preferences and needs.

Today Is International Mouse Arm Day. Do you use the mouse in Emacs?
I make extensive use of avy for these kinds of situations.

org-metadown in regular text!
Avy (avy-move-line) can do it very nicely and interactively for you, see this video.
-
[Spacemacs] Is bidirectional easy motion possible in spacemacs?
It sounds like avy is what you're looking for?
-
Navigate to positions within long words
Perhaps avy. I would use the commandavy-goto-char-2 then type N a and the corresponding jump key (if it appears). avy-goto-subword-1 is a bit more niche but might also work well.

Leap.nvim: Neovim’s Answer to the Mouse
from the readme:
> it maps possible futures, and shows you which key(s) you will need to press before you actually need to do that.
In the preview gif it's showing the matched hintkeys LIVE as you search.
I think this is actually a huge different in UX. I'm using the emacs equivalent in avy, avy-goto-char-timer[1], and that small pause between searching and acting (typing the hings) makes the experience jarring enough that I don't want end up using goto-char-timer in motions that much (only for jumping across windows and panes)
With no delay between and , the UX of d is much smoother
I'm jumping around on the screen using -> https://github.com/abo-abo/avy#avy-goto-char
This UX does not break my flow (it doesn't require focus/conscious thought):
1. Press + while looking at the place I want to jump to
