emacs distributions without evil?
You might look at crafted emacs and my own lambda-emacs (not sure if either of these are properly classified as "distros" though). Both default to vanilla Emacs bindings. The repo for lambda-emacs also has a bunch of links to some other great vanilla configs like Prelude, etc.

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.
I am a professor in the humanities (philosophy) and I maintain a framework for Emacs (I don’t know if it rises to the level of “distro”) that is conducive to humanities work, including writing, notes, citations, a good ui, and basic programming. I’m happy to say more if you have any questions. https://github.com/Lambda-Emacs/lambda-emacs

A minimal customization that I can borrow
See my lambda-emacs and lambda-themes. They are meant for writing and readability.

7 - Meow: Meow is great. I switched from evil a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. I also dropped general.el for bind-key.el, which is included with use-package (which I see you are using anyway). You can look at my setup of meow here and a more generic setup of keybindings here. I haven't had any trouble with using this instead of general.

Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
Finally, there is an awesome (in my opinion) add-on for dired called dirvish - makes dired more 'ranger' like if you're familiar with that. I absolutely love this package and its made dired's awesomeness even more awesome.

Ugly windows separators in emacsclient

Are There Any Methods To Get Dired Mode To Look Like Midnight Commander?
I'm not sure if it's exactly what you want, but to me Dirvish is the best these days. It builds upon dired in a beautiful way

In addition to other cool things dirvish does this.

Which packages do you want people to work on more or add features to?
That said https://github.com/alexluigit/dirvish is amazing on one of my computers and broken on the other so if you could fix that and let me know please do.

Completion command for common file moving/copying commands
Thanks for the reply, I hadn't seen those last two posts which are nice. Lately I've been using Dirvish for those type of operations. But this isn't exactly what I was looking for. I may not have been totally clear.

The file manager Dirvish. You know how the veterans say that Dired is the best file manager? Well, with dirvish even mere mortals can agree. It has panes, a pretty UI, and even pdf preview through pdf-tools.
