Will emacs-ng ever become mainstream?
I understand what you mean, and in my opinion, global namespace is not a problem for a language meant to extend an application. Obserer that purpose of elisp is (ok. was) to extend Emacs. Global namespace is actually feature here. However, Emacs has indeed evolved into an application framework, or at least, people are tring to use it so. In some cases then namespaces are good. While Emacs does not have a built-in namespace (yet?), you can use some of the namespace packages. I have personaly once needed a namespace for a project of mine, and have been looking into names, which I think is quite good. You can also use buffer local variables and hash tables/obarrays to accomplish lots of stuff you would use a namespace for. I ended up using an obarray (you can search mail archives and read some of tips I got).

Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac
block-undo. Have keyboard macros undo in a single step (something vi gets right!).
- embark-kmacro.el: Embark support for Hyperbole key series
-
Stripped-down Embark?
Installing that Embark key series implementation I mentioned above, to get extra actions for key series such binding them to a key or turning them into named keyboard macros.

How do guys 'namespace' calls to functions in the same 'namespace'?
Generally I recommend to maintain all personal code in the form of tiny but proper Elisp libraries. The config just glues everything together using use-package/setup/your-self-baked-macro. See also /u/oantolin's config which uses this style: https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config. I cannot recommend this enough!

How many lines are in your .emacs file?
I have 3720 lines in my configuration. I try to write as much of it as tiny packages that I configure with use-package, just like I do for external packages. (I highly recommend this form of organization) Many of these are only useful to me, but some would be very reasonable to steal, like:
-
[ANN] unpackaged/imenu-eww-headings: Offer HTML headings in EWW buffers with Imenu
I have a slightly different take on this in my configuration, file shr-heading.el. In addition to imenu support I wanted next and previous heading navigation commands. It turns out you then get imenu support for free, since one way you can specify imenu entries is by providing a "goto previous imenu entry" function.
- Whose user init have you found helpful?

Dragging the region
I wrote a small drag-region package once. You mark a region, turn on drag-region-mode and then your normal motion commands will drag the region along until you turn the minor mode off again. I never tested it with evil.

ecomplete: the Emacs contact manager you were looking for
I'm very happy with ecomplete now, I mostly just need the completion and automatic storing of addresses I write to, as configured in your post. But occasionally I want to remove an address or manually add one, so I wrote a couple of commands to do that which I bind in embark-email-map to + (for adding) and \ (for removing). I don't think I've used these commands directly, always as Embark actions. When I want to add an email to ecomplete I usually have it written in some buffer already. And the command to remove an email I've only ever used from the ecomplete completion interface or from a message buffer after mistakenly having inserted it and realized that's an old address I'll never use again.

Need help integrating a package into consult
I keep some packages in a subdirectory my personal configuration and don't create a separate repo for them. (Also, not every file there is really a package that could be released: some don't follow proper naming conventions, or depend on details of my configuration).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing names and emacs-config you can also consider the following projects:
CodeMirror - In-browser code editor (version 5, legacy)
embark - Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps
emacs-cl - Common Lisp implemented in Emacs Lisp.
lispy - Short and sweet LISP editing
Nameless - Less is more. Hide package namespace in your emacs-lisp code
consult-better-jumper - Integrate better-jumper into consult
prism.el - Disperse Lisp forms (and other languages) into a spectrum of colors by depth
consult - :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read
modalka - Modal editing your way
link-hint.el - Pentadactyl-like Link Hinting in Emacs with Avy
advent-of-code-2021 - My solutions for the "Advent of Code 2021"
icomplete-vertical - Global Emacs minor mode to display icomplete candidates vertically
