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.
