Emacs: Contextual Interfaces in Casual Calc
The best UI is for a cheat sheet to pop up after a delay, so you can proceed without a delay if you know, but also not have to press anything else if you don't know, just wait a bit.
Does https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key not work with spacemacs?

Improving Emacs Isearch Usability with Transient
I think which-key already solves exactly that: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

Evil mode's kinda hacky
As for the "complicated keybindings general" -- I assume because remembering things like C-x C-s is hard because of the shifted keystrokes? I get that, and there is in fact a solution for less used keybindings which I love, called 'which-key' https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

Should I start with vanilla Emacs?
I would recommend installing the which-key package, which is a fantastic discoverability aid. If you ever want an example config to get some inspiration, I have one here: Emacs Bedrock

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Make sure you have which-key installed and turned on. When using a keybinding that has a prefix (like C-x or C-c), it displays all the keybindings that start with that prefix.

Switched to Emacs a week ago, really thrilled so far. Looking for help on a few (somewhat advanced) questions.
there are some packages to help with the keybings, which-key shows a list of keybind and its command and (guru-mode)[https://github.com/bbatsov/guru-mode] enforces to use the "best" keybind, for exemple, it forces you to use C-n to move the cursor, blocking you to use the down key, and if you press the down key, it show a text in minibuffer to the best keybind.

Is anyone able to resize which-key side-window?
Thanks for confirming, I think it's an issue in which-key itself: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key/pull/166

Too many keybindings
If you haven't already, definitely check out the package which-key.

Tell HN: Vim users, `:x` is like `:wq` but writes only when changes are made
> even though I'm a terminal user ... I really like the discoverability of GUIs, and that's where a good GUI is unbeatable by CLI.
CLI has poor discoverability? Sure; but even on the terminal, discoverability can still be good:
A couple of nice examples of discoverability in keyboard-focused programs:
- emacs' which-key[0]; there's a vim port[1] too. This shows you (some) of the available keybindings for the next input, and a short label. So you don't have to remember what `SPC h p ...` or all the options under `SPC f...`.. but it still helps to recall that `SPC h` is for 'help' related commands, `SPC f` for file related commands.
- emacs' magit[2][3]. Magit is so good at discoverability, that I'd rate it as the best tool for using git with. I've learned more about git from using it.
