I've always been an emacs user, so no help from me I'm afraid. But I've read from other vimmers that doom emacs is a very good transition when migrating from vim to emacs, better than spacemacs. I've tried both, and I feel like doom is easier to use overall, so take that as you will. It's not bad to stick with vim either anyway, it's a great tool itself. I use vim every now and then, and I have the exact same experience of "well, if only I could just do X like in emacs, this would go way faster". In the end they're different cultures.
