A Consistent Structural Editing Interface - karthinks.com
The current state of things is pretty underwhelming and convoluted. In 2018 I designed a system on top of thingatpt that was not married to any parser (can use regexps or use tree-sitter or anything else to build things) or to any editing style (modal vs. non-modal). I'll probably never complete it due to a lack of time/interest, but it still seems to me that what's needed is something like this, a library in the middle that could be used for any package like this. Not sure why no one else seems to see how good thingatpt could be.

The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
I've planned to use treesitter in things.el for a long time, but another package will likely become useful long before I have time to do this.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
I've designed my own text object/motion system that I hope will eventually bring more "useful" composability to any Emacs user that wants it (see things), but right the implementation is buggy and incomplete.

Org mode insert item
It looks like that package has an issue tracker here, if you wanted to raise one: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection/issues

What should I do on my Corne keymap to make Emacs easier?
Honestly, I've yet to find a plugin that I use that isn't covered by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection. I love emacs, but I can't stand the chords.

How usable is Emacs with its default keybindings?
Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.

Emacs setup for people who suffer from RSI
I still have phases where I experiment with modal editing, but I haven't messed with Evil-mode in a long time. I prefer Meow, in part because it doesn't invest everything on a single command layout. And the sample Dvorak layout meshes really well with Emacs bindings for special modes (like Dired and Ibuffer). So you don't have to install and configure something like Evil-collection just to use the same bindings everywhere.

Does it worth to use Emacs keybindings instead of doom's predefined?
The problem I have with evil in Emacs is that it is another layer on top of vinalla Emacs. Not many packages are designed with evil key bindings in mind. You need packages like https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection and and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-magit and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-ediff to make Emacs feel more "evil". Distros like Doom and Spacemacs integrate these packages for you, but then you're even farther away from the default Emacs experience. I also find online help worse for evil bindings. To figure stuff out you often have to resort to looking at vim or neovim documentation. "Vanilla" Emacs is famously "self documenting" but last I checked evil couldn't provide useful help, within Emacs, in the same way.

Modal editing: Evil, Boon or Meow?
Evil does interfere with bindings in some modes, but https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection fixes a lot of these issues, both for built-in modes and a lot of popular third-party ones.

How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
Oh, and stick this in your use-package for general: ;; We want SPC as a leader key, probably. So do this. It just affects what ;; keybinds are overridden by the `override' keymap functionality that ;; `general' provides. ;; ;; https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection#making-spc-work-similarly-to-spacemacs ;; ;; NOTE: `evil-collection' binds over SPC in many packages. To use SPC as a ;; leader key with `general', first set these override states: (setq general-override-states '(insert emacs hybrid normal visual motion operator replace))

Is my understanding of Vim and Emacs correct?
Evil mode is incredible, but it has real disadvantages in the Emacs context. It is another layer above Emacs, which makes Emacs different from its default self. E.g. most packages don't come with evil-mode key bindings. The popular Emacs packages are handled by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection but, there is always going to be a layer of translation between how upstream describes its key bindings and how Evil binds them.
