I was advised to start with vanilla eMacs to get the hang of the system.

I now feel it was bad advice.

As someone who grew up with good dx tools like Sublime, it’s really hard to be productive in vanilla eMacs.

I’d suggest going with Doom, but don’t enable any package except Evil, LSP, Treesitter and Projectile.

This will give you a Vim like experience with basic project management.

As you become more comfortable, you can enable more packages.

This way you will stay productive and learn on the back of the community wisdom.
