Sapling: A highly experimental vi-inspired editor where you edit code, not text
I also recommend symex[1]. Although it is more âlocked-inâ to s-expressions than other solutions (which takes some getting used to at first), I find that for me this is exactly what makes movement feel much more intuitive and editing much more precise.
The one thing I donât like is that symex depends on so many other plugins (especially Evil, which I am trying to swap out with the more lightweight meow), but this will apparently change soon. They are also working towards support for non-Lisp languages via tree-sitter, but I donât know how well it works.

We've launched Attribution Based Economics
The pilot projects (including Symex.el) are accepting financial contributions and will distribute them to sources of value including contributors and antecedent projects in a process that we all have a say in.
-
Tree-sitter starter guide
This is a really useful synopsis. symex has recently had TS support merged in, and apparently includes navigation and structural editing similar to its lisp-like language capabilities. I think it's still early going and I haven't tested, but may be worth a look.

What modal sexp editing mode should I switch to?
Has anyone used symex.el without evil? I just learned it can be use with vanilla emacs (despite the 2nd word in its tagline). I also learned they have a tree-sitter branch which will expand its powers to many languages.

Advice on config hacking / yak shaving / bikeshedding
I started out using evil, but now I mostly use Symex. (Structural editing. non-lisps support wip for those sad moments you can't use lisp). For now depends on evil, but could be separated.

You are invited to the First Congress for Attribution-Based Economics!
The purpose of this congress is to engage in the process of Dialectical Inheritance Attribution, which is a collective process by which we apply agreed-upon standards to the task of appraising and attributing the value of work done in the world. At this initial congress, there are two open source projects on the agenda to be appraised: Symex.el which is an Emacs extension, and Qi, which is a functional DSL on the Racket platform.

paredit based on treesitter
symex has a branch thatâs been working on integrating with tree-sitter.

Paredit 25 Released
If you want to go nuts with structural editing you may also want to check out symex mode: https://github.com/drym-org/symex.el
It uses paredit (among others) for its low level functionality, but the vim-style modal interface allows you to manipulate the tree structure with single keystrokes in a precise and very expressive way. Keep in mind that you have to actively learn how to use it and it will feel awkward at first (similar to how vim feels for beginners), but I find the editing experience very pleasent and smooth after I got used to it.
Another thing I really like about it is that you can still switch to normal mode and it doesnât get in your way like other plugins where I had to change my keybindings all the time because the amount of convenient shortcuts is still quite limited in the end. This modal switching to different editing contexts (or languages?) is something I feel should be explored much further.

Advice on config hacking / yak shaving / bikeshedding
That said, I found that setting up evil wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you want to see how simple it can be, you can take a look at the pull request I linked in the original post. I can also recommend taking a look at this config for another example of how setting it up can actually be very simple: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

Basic customization to make emacs more modern
I personally also maintain a lightweight config with better defaults, aimed at new Emacs users, perhaps it could help you too: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

[Package shout-out] All-the-icons-ivy-rich is awesome

How do I turn my customized Emacs into itâs own distribution like Spacemacs Or Doom
I suggest you look at other publically shared configs and "distributions". E.g. yay-evil-emacs is one such "distribution", and is different from the author's personal config.

Where can I learn about emacs.init?
If you feel lost in basic customization of Emacs, perhaps my project yay-evil could help. It's fairly simple to follow (if I may say so myself) and has over 270 stars -- so at least quite a few beginners have found it useful.
-
Where to start with init.el
This is not a video styled tutorial, but I actively maintain a yay-evil framework aimed at beginners to help them build their own vanilla config. Feel free to give it a try! https://github.com/ianpan870102/yay-evil-emacs
