Question for Meow users
I don't use Meow, so this may be wildly off the mark (no pun) here. But I use and really like expand-region for selection and marking. With modal editing, I imagine it would be extremely fast and intuitive.

ts-movement: a package to navigate the tree-sitter syntax tree (supports multiple-cursors)
I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

What packages do I need to for the best elisp editing environment?
Paredit, Speed-of-thought lisp, Helm, perhaps Lispy but I am not using it myself. I found expand-region to work really well when writing and modifying elisp. lisp-extra-font-lock if you want some more blink (and font-lock-studio). Helpful is very good to have instead of built-in help, it displays the source code by default as well as symbol properties. It is a very informative learning experience to see how built-in stuff is implemented. I am quite lazy to press extra in built-in help to see the source code, but with Helpful, you get it auto in the same window, whicih is great for learning. Seeing symbol properties is sometimes a time saver so you don't have to M-: and type an Elisp function to see the symbol properties when debugging. Learn Edebug, it is very useful built-in application for Emacs Lisp development.

vanish.el: hide parts of a buffer
Exactly. Consider you have point in a table definition. You can programmatically find which org element you are in, at least for org-mode. Or in a defun for elisp-mode, a sentence or paragraf in plain text and so on. You could just press a shortcut, and based on major-mode you could find boundaries of the element and put it in hidden-list. It would be really fast to work that way. I don't know if it already exists in some package. Or you could go for somewhat easier version, and just check if a region is active, and if it is, hide region, and if not, hide current line, or based on mode, hide element at point. That way we can easily expand/contract region with er/expand-region and press a key to temporary hide/unhide it. It is not difficult to write a function to do that based on text properties. Thing-at-point might be useful here too.

Why not use Evil in 2022?
https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el is your friend. I use the built-in equivalent of it in IntelliJ all the time. it's a bit like a vi text objects in the simplest possible way.

Paredit Mnemonics for Slurping and Barfing Lisp Symbolic Expressions
Thanks, I will give paredit a shot.
I'm a regular emacs user, but I normally use expand-region[1] and cut/paste to edit lisp code. Expand-region usually knows what I want to move around after just one or two calls, only requires one key binding, and has visual feedback. And it works great in every language I have used.

Sharing my first emacs extension: csharpto.el
One thing that I always missed is the ability to select a whole function in C#, but I thought I just didn't know the right package or it was something trivial to do ad-hoc. Surprisingly, up to these days I still couldn't find anything. I bumped into the expand-region package at some point, which is awesome, but still something was missing. After going through the Emacs Lisp Intro tutorial, I learned a bit how to search things in a buffer, and I was also editing csharp files every day, so I decided to try to implement the functions myself. Fast forward some weeks, here I am, with a smile on my face :)

Is there a way to highlight the content inside parenthesis like Kate does?

Looking for evil-mode resources for non vim users emacs beginners
If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
You will probably like expand-region.el. It is fantastic for selecting inside brackets, quotes, etc.

How can I temporarily bypass helm and put free text
In my Helm, I have to actively choose the candidate to confirm it. So I can type in both paths that are shorter or longer then existing ones. I even made a video to demonstrate it, the thread was relatively recently up I think. My Helm setup is here it if helps you, find Helm in the list of packages.

cannot create new directory in dired due to autocomplete
I also use Helm, and I have no problems. Just keep typing, once you typed a letter that does not exist in a path name it will stop completing. I don't know if I have some special option enabled/disabled; I don't think you need it, but you can see my Helm config (just scroll down untill you find "Helm").

Custom-built Emacs vs Pre-built Emacs benchmarks (v30.0.50) and current Emacs performance on Windows
When all deps are installed,my config is over 200 packages. On my Arch Linux desktop I built in 2016, with i7 4.6k (haswell) it starts ~0.7 secs, but init time will be anything between 0.5 ~ 0.8 secs, i guess depending on what system does. So all things same, init time will vary.

org-SUPER-sparse-tree?
I am using it in my literate org-config. If you scroll down, there is a big list of packages, and I have done a small wrapper around helm-imenu, to jump to a package configuration. Looks like this.
-
Is there a package or something for code completion in org mode files for src blocks?
That does not work for completions, at least not for me. It works for keymaps, so you can have mode specific (or really any) keymap in src blocks. I have been using his method myself in my init file generator for quite a while now. If you (or anyone) knows/have an idea how to expand it for completions and eldoc, I would be really happy to hear.

ranger.el or dirvish?
I don't know what if it is more robust but I use more or less plain dired with just some options turned on to make it less noisy to look at, but I don't "manage" my files so much to be honest. I do use some extras from dired-hacks, and my own dired-auto-readme, but that is about it. You can check my setup if you wish, look at "dired" under packages and in Lisp folder for "dired-extras.el".

Not sure how to integrate autoloads into my Emacs config
I personally put all custom lisp in a special directory and scrape autoloads myself. If you are curious, you can check under "generator", functions generate-autoloads and collect-autoloads, but there is nothing special, just plain text search and copy-paste programmatically. I don't recommend to use it though.
What are some alternatives?
