I'm going to give Doom a shot; I ignored Spacemacs because rebinding native keys and forcing evil-mode was a nonstarter for me. If I wanted to use Vim then I would, and did for a time.

... and that was an immediately disappointing experience. 1. Saving customizations didn't work. 2. Launching Emacs as a client that auto-launches a server _always_ failed the first time. 3. I really don't need a custom package manager built on top of another custom package manager to replace the core package manager. straight.el would've been enough, thanks. 4. My batteries-included Emacs launches a server in a few seconds, a client almost instantaneously; doom took minutes to launch a server on my Pinebook Pro and clients took a few seconds. 5. Another needless dotfile dir in my home. ~/.doom.d could easily have been ~/.emacs.d/doom.d

"forcing evil-mode"?! Spacemacs asks if you want to use "evil", "holy", or "hybrid" mode early in the process.

  Interesting, I suppose I missed that when skimming the GitHub repo readme.
