Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
I started a CL library just for that: enhance the built-in doc of symbols that lack one. https://github.com/ciel-lang/more-docstrings It's only the start, but I use it and should carry on. Pull requests are easy and welcome.

Quickly learning some LISP basics for using emacs?
The packages helpful and elisp-demos are super useful because they enhance Emacs' built-in documentation.

Emacs terminology
Since you seem interested, have a look at elisp-demos , too. It works in tandem with helpful.

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
Elisp Docs are fantastic they have documented everything while with CL most documentation is missing or only on the Web. With Emacs, one need to learn about C-h f (describe-function), C-h k (describe-key), helpful.el and elisp-demos and a new world opens. Terminology is always different, simple example: Microsoft terminology sounds like bullshit, to a Unix person.

It's been a while since this exists. I just want to mention what a good idea it was and how useful that little link is. Thanks
I really like helpful with elisp-demos.

About to declare emacs bankruptcy before I lose my job
Emacs is by far not as buggy as you described. Go and get yourself a good book like "Mastering Emacs". Work through it (especially the "Getting Help" part) and learn some Emacs Lisp. Install and use the package helpful and elisp-demos. Also, edebug-defun is your friend.

Emacs lisp api sucks
Two packages I find worth mentioning to aid documentation: helpful and elisp-demos. I find the demo/snippets pretty handy.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing more-docstrings and elisp-demos you can also consider the following projects:
helpful - A better Emacs *help* buffer
popper - Emacs minor-mode to summon and dismiss buffers easily.
homebrew-emacsmacport - Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager
eglot - A client for Language Server Protocol servers
homebrew-emacs-plus - Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager
solarized-emacs - The Solarized colour theme, ported to Emacs.
ready-lisp - A distribution of Aquamacs, SBCL and SLIME which offers the simplest way to run Common Lisp on Mac OS X
cl-cookbook - The Common Lisp Cookbook
build-emacs-for-macos - Somewhat hacky script to automate building of Emac.app on macOS.
