If you like Straight, you should try Elpaca
The second one is a little bit more complicated. For a number of packages I kind of abuse use-package/straight to separate out setup of different files/modes contained within the same package into their own use-package statement. Good example of this is my setup for helm. ) For example, after the normal (use-package helm …) statement, I have the below which configures helm-files related stuff, which comes from helm-for-files.el within the helm package:

New package yank-indent automatically sets correct indentation on yanked/pasted text
If anyone is curious of the hacky solution I used to have in my config, here is the comment where I initially replaced it with an earlier version of yank-indent.

Doom -> vanilla emacs 29
I’d like to throw my personal vanilla config into the hat as a point of reference/starting point/inspiration: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d

How to use Emacs 29 Tree-sitter?
I did a similar thing with yaml-mode highlight queries in my config before the highlights were merged in. You can see the relevant commit in my config here: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d/commit/ebbdab36fb2a3d635d591cc3179b8f4ed9a476d0

How Can I Start the Daunting Task of Making my Own Config?
I'm two months in (without any programming experience) and I've gone through various re-writes (from a literate .org init to a modular setup akin to Emacs Prelude or Siren configurations. (See: https://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d)

Is doom emacs still actively maintained?
Keep an eye on Crafted Emacs which has a v2Beta release branch. It's been evolving. The v2Beta is a rewrite. It aims to provide a minimalist leg up on vanilla Emacs for new Emacs users. It's goal is to take you from first steps to a point where you have learned a great deal and built your configuration. Then you may be comfortable ditching the Crafted Emacs boilerplate configuration entirely. Think of it as a starter kit. Follow SystemCrafters on YouTube (live stream mostly) & Matrix (they are leaving Discord). Despite the live stream being lengthy, there is much to be learned as you bear witness to David figuring things out. Over time, you pickup on those techniques such as looking up a variable state, reviewing functions, evaluating snippets of Elisp in real time, etc. Also recommend, Mastering Emacs as a fantastic ebook with free updates. Once 29.1 ships, no doubt, there will be a free update to the ebook.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
I'd recommend you have a look at crafted-emacs. It's an example of how far Emacs can actually go without third-party packages. Then you can add minimal packages (completion and specific tool integrations) to further enhance the experience.

Emacs bankruptcy
For me it's quite stable except some issues I had with vertico. Anyways, I first started to rewrite my doom config into plain vanilla emacs (with org mode literate configs), and then I discovered crafted which allowed me to remove some code with commonly set sane defaults, e.g. stuff from https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs/blob/master/modules/crafted-defaults.el.

Kudos to Emacs developers
I have been surprised at how many people have so ardently defended only using built-ins and raw package.el and their own janky ensure methods when use-package was available and did it all better. And, it even lets you configure Emacs itself (not just packages), as well as seamlessly letting you try different package management tools like straight.el. Getting it into Emacs itself hopefully makes this a more prevalent way of showing users how to craft their own config.

Switched to VSCode... I miss Atom :(
If you need a staring point for configuring there's some nice light ones like emacs-bedrock and crafted-emacs, and also some fully pre-configured Emacs distributions that you can choose from (though those look harder to configure to one's personal needs to me, but I haven't tried them so wouldn't know).

Emacs 29 is nigh What can we expect?

What are some alternatives?
When comparing .emacs.d and crafted-emacs you can also consider the following projects:
projectile - Project Interaction Library for Emacs
chemacs2 - Emacs version switcher, improved
dogears.el - Never lose your place in Emacs again
.emacs.d - My emacs configuration
tree-sitter-c-sharp - C# Grammar for tree-sitter
no-littering - Help keeping ~/.config/emacs clean
diff-hl - Emacs package for highlighting uncommitted changes
doomemacs - An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker
gumshoe
dotemacs
doom - Doom Emacs config
emacs.onboard - Single-file Emacs starter kit without 3rd-party packages. Almost vanilla Emacs, with just the right amount of sweetness to flatten the learning curve.
