Bad Emacs Defaults
Heh, I recently did a "clean sweep" of my .emacs files (inspired by the new support for `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/config/emacs/init.el` in 27.1) and something like 90% of it was workarounds (some dating back to the late 1990s, for example a "vertical-motion-fix" for something that was fixed in emacs 19.29)
I definitely recommend doing some form of "dotfile bankruptcy" every 20 years or so :-)
(I also ended up doing a crude "load-file-literate" so that now most of my elisp is actually markdown, inspired by https://github.com/skx/dotfiles )

Bikeshedding Friday: How do you organize your init file?
I keep meaning to explore using org-mode for this. At the moment I have a trivial init.el which loads a literate markdown file init.md.

Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
I keep meaning to experiment with bable/tangle in Emacs.
I setup a simple literate configuration of my init file via markdown, which worked out really well, but doing it "properly" in org-mode would be a nice evolution.
With markdown I just search for code-blocks, write them all sequentially to a temporary buffer and evaluate once done. So it is very simplistic, but also being able to write and group things is useful:

What parts of your config do you like best?
~/.emacs.d/init.el the helper, which loads/executes it.

Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
I found Mr. Ross' funnelweb utility to have the best syntax. Unique and easy to read.
http://ross.net/funnelweb/tutorial/index.html
Unfortunately the only known implementation was last updated over two decades ago, and is written in pretty hard to understand C.
I asked for permission and started a repository here: https://github.com/loa-in-/fw-utf8
I currently have it unmodified there, except for disabled check for ASCII range. (this modification is included in initial commit, sorry, my bad). Otherwise code is the same.
What are some alternatives?
