Switched to Emacs a week ago, really thrilled so far. Looking for help on a few (somewhat advanced) questions.
Scimax should have out of box setup for bibliography, references etc. Anyway, regardless of what you use Emacs for, one step a time, would be my recommendation. Just start using it and solve problems as you experience them. It is better to add a single thing at a time when you need it, than to add 1000 different things because you think you will need them, and then not know what you have or what causes a problem.

Embed excalidraw in Emacs?
https://github.com/wdavew/org-excalidraw is close. I discovered you can install Excalidraw from Chrome, and then it is like a local program. That is pretty amazing in itself. org-excalidraw indeed offers an org-link and way to make an excalidraw file from emacs, edited natively in an external excalidraw window. The svg preview does not work though if you use freehand lines in your image, and I was unable to install the npm packages on my Mac for some uninteresting reason related to DNS, but it did work in a node docker image. I find writing in excalidraw less advanced than in tools like Notability or PDFExpert. There are some artifacts in excalidraw from smoothing, or dangling pixels that I don't love. I forgot I had previously used https://github.com/lepisma/org-krita. Krita is a full drawing program, and this integrates into org-mode with image previews nicely. I am not that skilled in using it, and as a full drawing program, it has a learning curve. I wrote https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-inkscape.el to integrate inkscape into org-mode. It works, but I find inkscape slow to open, and I am not that skilled in using it.

Emacs and knowledge management for scientists
Maybe give scimax a go?
-
Emacs as org-mode interpreter - standalone, batch mode?
Anyway, if you want something geared toward scientific usage, there is Scimax by J. Kitchin. There may be some others, but I am not aware off.

emacs distributions without evil?
Apart from the ones already mention, John Kitchin's science-focused Scimacs is also an option.
- Preferred Citation Management and Knowledge Management Tools?
-
Possible to display errors in src block results?
Got it. Then, I recommend watching other videos by John Kitchin. He had some introductory presentations on Python programming in Org mode. He developed the whole Emacs system optimised for python, Org, and research work: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/

Writing papers/thesis in org with a barebone config
Not barebones, but I would consider looking at scimax, which is an emacs configuration that likely is similar to your work flow. You can also look to PhD theses written in org-mode and shared on github, there are a few with sensible configurations you might want to just copy.

Tell HN: My Favorite Tools
I think I have somewhere around 1k notes. Startup time is not my concern as I keep it open all the time. It seems like I bumped into https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issu... tl;dr: Minimal theme doesn't get along with Excalidraw.

Wireflow – free, online, open source tool for creating user-flow prototypes
I use excalidraw for almost everything. Brilliant tool. I already mentioned it in another response in this thread but using excalidraw inside obsidian via https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin has been a game changer for me.
You may already do this but if you haven’t, check out the excalidraw plugin in Obsidian: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin
Zslot has put an incredible amount of work into it and it extends excalidraw to have a lot of additional capabilities. You can also use it within Obsidian canvas for some of the flow stuff you mention but you could very likely just use the plugin.
Zslot is constantly updating it too so you get new features and updates almost every other time you open it. Amazing work done there.
And Obsidian is just awesome too :)

Embed excalidraw in Emacs?
In the end, none of these really fill the void I am looking for yet. excalidraw might do it one day, but it is far behind something like Notability, which for me is an ideal notetaking/drawing tool that almost hits the right balance of just enough tools to be creative, and not so many to be overwhelming. Being able to do the drawing/writing on an iPad is also pretty critical for me; I have not found a drawing tablet that is better for this purpose so far. The work here https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin gives me hope for excalidraw, but I am not fluent enough in Typescript to make this happen anytime soon!
Is it possible to do something like this excalidraw plugin https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin in Emacs?

Hi, with Obsidian Excalidraw I think you can have what you are looking for drawing…it’s a huge plugin. For spreadsheets, or you convert the tables in markdown tables or you can put the spreadsheet file into your vault and open it when needed, but atm I don’t have a valid solution on this
