I'm switching to emacs from neovim
Look up the no-littering package.

Using init.el as a wrapper to a primary config
btw, I'm using the https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering package to determine the location of the custom.el: https://github.com/onetom/onetomacs/blob/main/lib/use-no-littering.el

Newbie here: temporary files and startup page
i use the package no-littering, it's change the default directory for temporary, backup and others files created by packages to two dir, etc and var, so the ~/.emacs.d and buffer directory keep clean from this kind of files

New to emacs and having some confusion
https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering this moves the backups away, iirc. but I remember from some Emacs videos, that some ppl actually keep all their backup files, so they can grep them, in case they overwrite something, which they haven't committed into version control.
-
bookmark+ - backups not working. Do they for you?
I do use no-littering that doesn't appear to be hiding anything. ~/.emacs.d/var/bmkp/current-bookmark.el contains my bookmarks. Thats the only file there.

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).

Boilerplate config

Emacs 29 is nigh What can we expect?
And if you find yourself between the two extremes, perhaps https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs
What are some alternatives?
When comparing no-littering and crafted-emacs you can also consider the following projects:
dotfiles - arch linux configuration files
chemacs2 - Emacs version switcher, improved
dotfiles
.emacs.d - My emacs configuration
castlemacs - Modern, minimalist Emacs for macOS ⌘
doomemacs - An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker
dotfiles - The path to GNUrvana
dotemacs
dotfiles - :wrench: .files, including ~/.macos — sensible hacker defaults for macOS
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.
bicycle - Cycle outline and code visibility
every-emacs-initialization-file - Share links to Emacs initialization files with minimal effort!
