Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Is emacs the answer?
I have used Org mode in tandem with LaTeX for displaying inline statistical equations when taking notes for data science topics and have found it works very well, although I am by no means a LaTeX expert. I have, however, read where Ph.D students have used Org mode to write their theses using LaTeX.

Emacs org-mode examples and cookbook (2017)
As a sibling parent mentioned, you can tag an element by inserting it into it's own heading and adding the :ignore: tag.
I feel this functionality is overlooked, and it is in my opinion one of the most powerful features implemented in org, as it allows you to add "meta" groupings to your org document without any effect on the content.
Without the :ignore: tag, there is a strict semantic relation between org-mode document headings, as physically indicated by the * at the beginning of a line, and the corresponding hierarchical level of the heading's content.
With the :ignore: tag, however, you separate content from form. Headings with :ignore: work just as headings for your file.org document: you can search for headings, link to them, add IDs and properties and whatever else you can do with headings. But when you export your document, the heading no longer exists and thus has no impact on the hierarchical level of its content.
Why is this interesting? Well, because if content is separated from form, we can build things where the same content assume multiple forms depending on whatever context we define.
I used this in combination with other org-mode tags, "#+exclude_tags" and "#+include" directives to build my Ph.D. thesis with org mode and have my thesis chapters be exportable both as thesis chapters as well as standalone publications. Shameless plug: https://github.com/dangom/org-thesis
It should be straightforward to extend the idea to presentations and other formats as well.
