Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.

Evil mode's kinda hacky
If you need more fine-grained keybindings control use https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

symbols function definition is void: map!
If you're relying heavily on Evil states and leader keys I also recommend this package: https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

bind.el -- A key binder with prefix, autoload, repeat-mode and save&restore support
If I have to say one or two things about them, general's readme looks a lot and may be hard to grasp for starters who just want to bind keys. I want bind to be the go to package for newcomers and unify people who are just bored of typing define-key or okay with looping since bind is close to that simplicity yet being powerful due to its design. If you are missing something, please open an issue and see if we can add it.

How do you call interactive commands with arguments like in vim?
For binding keys I highly recommend the package noctuid/general.el. Specifically binding to general-key-dispatch. Something like: (general-define-key :states '(normal visual) "/" (general-key-dispatch "/" 'ag-search :default 'evil-search-forward))

Anyone here uses evil-mode with Colemak-DH? How did you set up yours?
I use standard Colemak. I've added the following configuration to be able to exit insert mode by pressing l and h in sequence (that key combination is convenient to type, but still uncommon enough in most words, the main exception being localhost). (general-imap "l" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command :timeout 0.25 "h" 'evil-normal-state)) The above code uses https://github.com/noctuid/general.el.

Help with setting up emacs on windows
https://github.com/noctuid/general.el Keybinding and leader-key manager for Emacs. There are other packages but this is the best one imo - it even includes vim-style map commands.

A good config with leader keys
Gonna drop a link to https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
